Abstract:
Pathogens and pests reduce the yield of produce and cause substantial economic losses, and reduce food security at national level. Minimization of losses using chemical pesticides is harmful for plants, soil, and human health. Therefore, different approaches of bio-management provide safe and cheaper protection against soil borne fungal diseases, root knot diseases caused by nematodes and foliar diseases and insect pests of vegetable crops. This review article is aimed to provide meaningful information about bio-management of diseases and insect pests in vegetable crops.
