Pseudomonas Fluorescens Biocontrol Agents bacteria have a strong oxiding power that helps them break down environmental pollutants and provide useful enzymes and oxygen for plant growth. This bacterium enters the plant system and act as a systemic bio control agent against diseases. Pseudomonas florescence biocide for control of black rot and blister blight diseases.

Advantages:

-It improves soil quality with subsequent uses
-It should not be mixed with antibacterial agents and inorganic fertilizers
-It effectively protects the plant from wilt, root rot, soft rot, blight and damping off effect
-It also controls the rice blast and sheath blight of paddy

Mode of action:

-By secreting an enzyme, it has the capability to destroy the cell wall of the fungal pathogens and annihilate them
-It secrets hydrogen cyanide and antibiotics such as pycocyanin and phenazine, which inhibit the growth of disease causing pathogens
-It also produces siderospores which chelate with iron in the soil, and make it difficult for the pathogens to proliferate
-Further, it secretes several plant growth substances, and these gibberellins like compounds contribute to vigorous crop growth

• The active components of biopesticides made on the base of this fungus-antagonist are their spores, mycelium and products of metabolism
• The fungus secrets cellulase and chitinase enzymes which react with cell wall of the disease causative pathogenic fungi or bacteria and dissolve the same
• Trichoderma utilize the protoplasm as a source of food and multiply its spores. By this method the spores of the pathogenic fungi are destroyed
• In the process of development Trichoderma synthesizes a variety of antibiotics (gliotoxin, viridine, trichodermin and others). They destroy the cell walls of phytopathogenic fungi and produce biologically active substances, which stimulate plant growth and development

• These strains induce plants to "turn on" their native defense mechanisms offers the likelihood that these strains also will control pathogens other than fungi
• Trichoderma possess innate resistance to most agricultural chemicals, including fungicides, although individual strains differ in their resistance.

Metarhizium Anisopliae Biocontrol Agents is an entomopathogenic fungus that infects insects that come in contact with it. Once the fungus spores attach to the surface of the insect, germinate and begins to grow, they then penetrate the exoskeleton of the insect and grow very rapidly inside the insect, causing the insect to die. Other insects that come in contact with infected insects also become infected with the fungus. 

Mode of action

The spores of this fungus when come in contact with the cuticle (skin) of susceptible insects, they germinate and grow directly through the cuticle to the inner body of their host. The fungus proliferates throughout the insect’s body and draining the insect of nutrients, eventually killing it.
