Formulation of biological control agents

1993 
Biological control, in the broadest sense, could be defined as the use of living agents to control pests, plant pathogens and weeds; in this context both the activities of man and the use of resistant plants might be included. This chapter addresses only the formulation requirements of microbial agents used for crop protection and public health. Although some success is being achieved with the use of parasitoids and predators, especially in the glasshouse industry, and some ingenious formulations have been developed for this purpose, these applications are beyond the scope of this book.
