Abstract

Numerous experiments demonstrating potential biocontrol effects on soilborne diseases have been reported in the scientific literature. However, from the lists of approved and registered biocontrol agents, it is striking how few have been commercialised and are used in practise for plant disease control. The main hindrances are often claimed to be legislative aspects and the costs involved in the registration. Although this is in many respects true, there is a range of both biological and technical problems which must be considered when developing an effective biocontrol agent for commercial use.
