• Mode of Action of Microbial Biological Control Agents Against Plant Diseases: Relevance Beyond Efficacy (2019, background): “In some cases, antimicrobial metabolites produced by selected microbial organisms are included in the product, and some products even contain only antimicrobial metabolites without living cells of the antagonist (Glare et al., 2012).”
• Can we use entomopathogenic fungi as endophytes for dual biological control of insect pests and plant pathogens (2018, background): “Furthermore, to encourage the widespread use of fungal entomopathogen-based biopesticides there is a need for products with activity against multiple pests in addition to improved delivery methods and increased persistence (Glare et al., 2012).”
• New Zealand pest management: current and future challenges (2015, background): “…weed control agents Microbially based biopesticides continue to show promise for the control of weeds although they lack the reliability and effectiveness of their chemical counterparts; work is continuing on improving them and their cost effectiveness (e.g. their shelf life) (Glare et al. 2012).”
• Microbial Biopesticides in Agroecosystems (2018, background): “The whole market of biopesticides has significantly grown during the last years, as a result of an increased awareness of their potential and a growing attention to the environmental and health risks associated with conventional chemicals [50,51].”
• Efficiency of microbial bio-agents as elicitors in plant defense mechanism under biotic stress: A review (2021, background): “Sometimes the product includes beneficial microorganisms and in some cases, it contains only antimicrobial metabolites without the antagonist’s living cells (Glare et al., 2012).”
