    (University of North Bengal, 2021-03) Kundu, Chitra; Rai, Bijeta; Subba, Rewaj; Mathur, Piyush
    Biological control being an eco-friendly approach against phytopathogens holds a great potential in near future. Severity of chemical-based pesticides have resulted risk to mankind and the environment. The increasing demand for chemical free products all over the world promotes eco-friendly approach such as biological control as a replacement to chemical pesticides. Various bio-formulations of living organisms can be employed to control several plant pathogens. Studies have shown that bacteria, fungi and plants can act as an important source of biocontrol products and have shown positive results in both in-vitro and in-vivo conditions. This review will help us to provide insight towards the potential of various biological entities against major diseases in Brassicaceae along with mechanisms which might be useful in developing various bio-pesticides against plant pathogens for sustainable agriculture.
