Plant pathogens hold enormous potential as bioherbicide. In addition to the use of plant pathogens as bioherbicide, it is likely that pathogen derived genes, gene products, and genetic mechanisms will be exploited in the near future to provide novel weed-management systems. On the other hand, the present over-reliance on chemical herbicides is purely on economic considerations, at the exclusion of ecological and social benefits. Thus the serious limitation of environment could site use of bioherbicide.

Abstract


Plant pathogens hold enormous potential as bioherbicide. In addition to the use of plant pathogens as bioherbicide, it is likely that pathogen derived genes, gene products, and genetic mechanisms will be exploited in the near future to provide novel weed-management systems. On the other hand, the present over-reliance on chemical herbicides is purely on economic considerations, at the exclusion of ecological and social benefits. Thus the serious limitation of environment could site use of bioherbicide.
