Role of Biosurfactants in Agriculture Management

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Advancements in Biosurfactants Research

Abstract

With the current global human population growth rate, food insecurity has the potential aggravation beyond expectations. Increasing crop production up to 5 % annually for future needs seems unrealistic considering the ongoing challenges of climate change, water shortage, soil deterioration, nutrient limitation, and productivity losses due to the attack of plant pathogens. Extensive use of the agrochemicals poses serious environmental and health repercussions, therefore, it is high time to develop innovative, cost-effective, and sustainable agriculture methods. The surface active metabolites produced by bacteria, yeast, and filamentous fungi are termed as microbial surfactants (MS) or biosurfactants (BS). Biosurfactants have found enormous applications in agriculture, food, cosmetics, petroleum, and pharmaceutical industries as wetting, dispersing, emulsification, and antimicrobial agents. Many microorganisms present in soil and rhizosphere naturally produce different biosurfactants where these molecules play important role in reducing surface and interfacial tension, plant–microbe interactions, improving soil quality, nutrients exchange, degradation of complex hydrocarbons, plant pathogen elimination, and enhancing plant immunity. In pursuit of agriculture and environmental sustainability, biosurfactants are capturing significant attraction as an eco-friendly replacement for xenobiotic agrochemicals. In this chapter, the latest scientific information regarding important properties, role of biosurfactants in plant disease management and improving soil quality will be provided.
