Indiscriminate use of pesticides in the management of plant diseases is leading to severe allied problems of environmental pollution and residual hazards. Biological control is desirable because it is safe and poses no resistance problem in pest population. Despite enormous research, the current market share for biologicals is almost negligible in the entire pesticide arena. Limited attention has been focused on the use of VAM (Vesicular Arbuscular Mycorrhizal) fungi as biocontrol agent, though being used largely as biofertilizers. The legumes serve as main source of fibre and protein...
