Crops suffer due to diseases caused by fungi bacteria viruses nematodes phytoplasma resulting in losses in quality and quantity. Therefore to get rid from such soil borne pathogens there is an urgent need of suitable/environmental friendly management practices for reduction in disease incidence in several agricultural crops of economic importance. The biological control of pathogens has been studied for many years, and the introduction of beneficial microorganisms into soil or the rhizosphere as been proposed for the biological control of soil borne crop diseases. Biological control of plant pathogens and diseases caused by them can be successfully managed by using antagonistic microorganisms with no harmful effect on consumers as they are eco-friendly to agricultural, horticultural and plantation crops.
