However, only a small number of microbial biocontrol agents (mBCAs) have been developed, registered, and used in the management of plant diseases. This book analyzes the deployment of mBCAs for the development of novel microbial biopesticides, considering the main plant-beneficial traits, procedures needed for effective formulations and the processes used for their validation. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTo guide the readers through the world of microbial biopesticides, the book starts with a chapter dedicated to the regulations that need to be followed for the development of final products. Readers will understand the importance of formulation and mode of action of mBCAs in developing microbial biopesticides. They will become familiar with key mBCAs such as \u003ci\u003eAmpelomyces quisqualis\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e Bacillus \u003c\/i\u003espp., \u003ci\u003eTrichoderma \u003c\/i\u003espp., and \u003ci\u003ePseudomonas \u003c\/i\u003espp., understanding the importance of formulation for their application in the field. This book explains the use of mBCAs to control post-harvest diseases and the potential of endophytic microorganisms as next-generation microbial biopesticides. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA final chapter provides a useful workflow for the selection of new mBCAs and describes microbial species including promising mBCAs that might be developed as new microbial biopesticides.
