What it is

Biofungicides are natural or biological agents used to control fungal diseases in crops. These agents can include beneficial fungi, bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms that suppress fungal pathogens. Biofungicides offer an environmentally friendly alternative to synthetic fungicides, reducing chemical inputs and promoting sustainable agricultural practices.

Why is it important

Environmental Safety: Biofungicides are typically less harmful to non-target organisms and have minimal impact on beneficial insects, pollinators, and natural predators.

Resistance Management: Biofungicides can help manage resistance issues that arise with synthetic fungicides, as they employ multiple modes of action against fungal pathogens.

Residue Management: Biofungicides often leave little to no residues on crops, addressing concerns related to pesticide residues in food and the environment.

How it works

Biofungicides control fungal diseases through various mechanisms:

Antagonism: Beneficial microorganisms compete with pathogenic fungi for nutrients and space, inhibiting their growth and colonization on plant surfaces.

Parasitism: Some biofungicides parasitize fungal pathogens by penetrating their cells or producing enzymes that degrade fungal cell walls.

Induced Resistance: Biofungicides can trigger systemic acquired resistance (SAR) in plants, enhancing their natural defense mechanisms against fungal infections.

Antibiosis: Biofungicides produce secondary metabolites or antibiotics that directly inhibit fungal growth and spore germination.

Biofungicides are often integrated into holistic disease management strategies, such as integrated pest management (IPM) programs, where they complement cultural practices and crop rotation to enhance efficacy.
