The quest for innovative pest control approaches that prioritize the use of safer molecules is of paramount importance and holds immense interest. One promising and environmentally friendly technology is microbial-mediated biological crop protection, which offers a solution devoid of negative consequences for the environment and biodiversity. Microbial hydrolytic enzymes, including proteases, chitinases, and lipases, are particularly attractive for this purpose as they possess toxic properties and exhibit synergistic effects in combating pest attacks. Additionally, exploring and harnessing the metabolites produced by microorganisms for their survival or defense holds great potential for plant protection.
This Volume specifically delves into the potential of microbial hydrolytic enzymes and their metabolites in enhancing agroecosystem functionality. Subsequent chapters explore various topics, including the utilization of microbial hydrolytic enzymes as powerful management tools, the role of chitinases in integrated pest management (IPM) of agro-horticultural crops, the significance of metabolites as pesticides, and the importance of metabolites produced by entomopathogenic fungi. Other chapters cover topics such as microbial-based nanoparticles, recombinant DNA technologies to enhance the effectiveness of microbial insecticides, the impact of entomopathogens on insect predators and parasitoids, and the management of major vegetable insect pests.
The objective of this Volume is to provide comprehensive and detailed accounts on the safe and sustainable use of microbial products for the effective management of insect pests. It aims to establish a strong foundation for students, teachers, and researchers who are passionate about eco-friendly approaches to managing significant insect crop pests.
