Abstract

Plants diseases are affecting on the quality and quantity of crops. The chemical
pesticide can use to control the menace of crop disease. Chemical pesticide causes
many environmental and health damage therefore biological agents are gaining
importance to suppress of the plant diseases. Live organisms are utilization to control
of the plant pathogens that use to suppress one or more pathogens and called to as
biological control. Living organisms or products are used in the biocontrol of plant
diseases that act to decrease the negative effect of pathogens.
