- Book Synopsis
- This book explores applications of endophytic fungi in agriculture and plant protection. It provides insights into the potential of these fungi in developing environmentally friendly and sustainable agricultural techniques. This book discusses the use of endophytic fungi as biocontrol agents against plant infections and stressors. It is targeted at farmers, plant pathologists, agricultural researchers, biotechnology experts, and students of biology and agronomy who are interested in learning more about the expanding applications of fungal endophytes in agriculture and plant health. The book examines the role of endophytes and their bioactive metabolites in agricultural yield, plant growth promotion, and plant defence against stress and disease.
