The role of weeds as a source of beneficial microorganisms

The role of weeds as a source of beneficial microorganisms Weeds are undesirable and not subject to cultivation. It is known that weeds can host pathogens, however, their role as a source of beneficial organisms is poorly studied and only in individual cases. This paper is a short review of the available literature on the role of weeds as hosts of beneficial microorganisms. Some of the fungi mentioned in this review belong to Fusarium, Alternaria, Aspergillus and Trichoderma genera, while bacterial genera include Bacillus and Pseudomonas. The conclusion is that weeds are an excellent potential source of microbial organisms that can help plant development and resistance to plant diseases. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png European Journal of Plant Pathology Springer Journals

Abstract

Weeds are undesirable and not subject to cultivation. It is known that weeds can host pathogens, however, their role as a source of beneficial organisms is poorly studied and only in individual cases. This paper is a short review of the available literature on the role of weeds as hosts of beneficial microorganisms. Some of the fungi mentioned in this review belong to Fusarium, Alternaria, Aspergillus and Trichoderma genera, while bacterial genera include Bacillus and Pseudomonas. The conclusion is that weeds are an excellent potential source of microbial organisms that can help plant development and resistance to plant diseases.
