Abstract

In this review we cover the biological control of insects, bacteria and fungus that affect different crops. Using different microorganism as bacteria viruses and fungus can do the biological control of these important problems. In this work we describe with detail the mode of action of the different microorganisms used to control insects and plant diseases. We also present novel strategies to improve the efficiency of these microorganisms against their targets and we present the development and production of several formulations to be used in the fields for the biological control of some plant problems.
