Abstract

As the environmental and health concerns alert the necessity to move towards a sustainable agriculture system, biological approach using indigenous plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) gains a strong impetus in the field of plant disease control. In this context, the present review article addresses the usage of rhizospheric antagonistic bacteria as a suitable alternative to control tomato fungal diseases namely Fusarium wilt and early blight disease. Biological control has been considered to be an eco-friendly, safe and effective method for disease management. The inherent traits of PGPR to antagonize a pathogen through various mechanisms has been investigated extensively to utilize them as potent biocontrol agents (BCA). Hence, the article provides a detailed account on different biocontrol mechanisms displayed by BCA. It is also suggested that the use of bacterial consortium ensures consistent performance by BCA in field conditions. Likewise, this review also deals with the opportunities and obstacles faced during commercialization of these antagonistic bacteria as biocontrol agents in the market.
