AI Article Synopsis

  • Whole organisms and secondary metabolites from microorganisms can serve as effective biopesticides to protect plants from pests and promote their growth.
  • This review focuses on the crucial secondary metabolites produced by three significant bacterial genera that are utilized in managing agricultural pests and diseases.
  • The findings highlight the biological activities of these metabolites, showcasing their potential benefits for improving crop health and productivity.

Article Abstract

The whole organisms can be packaged as biopesticides, but secondary metabolites secreted by microorganisms can also have a wide range of biological activities that either protect the plant against pests and pathogens or act as plant growth promotors which can be beneficial for the agricultural crops. In this review, we have compiled information about the most important secondary metabolites of three important bacterial genera currently used in agriculture pest and disease management.
