Title:
MODIFIED BIOLOGICAL CONTROL AGENTS AND THEIR USES
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2021045125
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
To provide modified biological control agents and their uses.SOLUTION: A method for improving the ability of a population of biological agents to compete and survive in a field setting is provided. The improved, modified population of the agent is able to grow, compete with other microbial strains and fungi, and provides protection for plants from pathogens. In particular, the modified biological agent and modified population of such an agent being herbicide tolerant or resistant are selected or engineered. In this manner, the protection from disease-causing agents is enhanced. Such a modified population can be added to the soil to prevent fungal pathogens and the associated diseases thereby promoting plant growth. Accordingly, the invention is useful for enhancing the competitiveness of modified biological agents particularly over other microbial agents which are not herbicide resistant.SELECTED DRAWING: None
