Preface
Growing consumer demand, insect/pest resistance pressure and an ever-changing regulatory environment necessitate the discovery of new crop protection agents for growers of today and tomorrow. Many of the developments in agrochemical research in the last few decades have their origin in a wide range of natural products from a variety of sources. In light of the continuing need for new tools to address an ever- changing array of microbes, modern agricultural practices and evolving regulatory requirements, the needs for new agrochemical tools remain as critical as ever. In that respect, nature continues to be an important source for novel chemical structures and biological mechanisms to be applied for the development of certain control agents. Following this trend, the proposed book aims to cover important aspects of the use of microorganisms and microbial metabolites as an alternative to the chemicals in the agriculture field. Microbes, as a whole, can be exploited as eco-friendly, cost-effective and sustainable agents. The ultimate goal is to support the scientif
