Abstract
The protected nature, expensive crops, and microclimatic conditions in the greenhouse make it rather imperative to suitably alter the disease management strategies. There is lack of specific chemicals suited for greenhouse conditions. Hence, agriculture in greenhouses and protected structures offers a unique niche for the development and use of biological control agents. Biological control of greenhouse diseases and commercial products registered for biological control are discussed.
