Abstract
Phyllospheric microbes refer to the microbes resides on the above-ground portion of the different part of the plants such as stems, leaves, flowers, and fruits. It includes bacteria, fungi, archaea, protist, algae, etc., and maybe either advantageous or deleterious to the host plant. The valuable microbial community plays a role in plant disease management, plant growth, nutrient acquisition, protection of plant from external environment, and also provides resistance to stress. Phyllospheric microbes are being explored as a biocontrol agent and biofertilizers for sustainable development of agriculture. In the present chapter, we thoroughly discussed about diverse pathogenic and non-pathogenic phyllospheric microorganisms, their ecosystem interaction, and important function in host plant. Furthermore, microbial food safety and application of phyllospheric microflora in sustainable agriculture growth have also been discussed.
