USO DE METABOLITOS DE MICRORGANISMOS PARA CONTROLE DE DOENÇAS EM PLANTAS

Abstract

Over time, environmental legislation has advanced significantly, which has helped to encourage the use of bioinputs in agriculture and promote more sustainable practices. With growing concern about the environmental impacts of traditional agriculture, governments have supported the adoption of more responsible methods, such as the use of bioinputs. These products play a fundamental role in sustainable agriculture, helping to reduce the use of pesticides and protect the environment. Today, farmers can choose from different types of bioinputs on the market, such as organic fertilizers, biopesticides and resistance inducers. Each of them has specific characteristics that meet the needs of different agroforestry crops, bringing both economic and environmental benefits to those who produce them. Around 7,000 metabolites produced by microorganisms have already been identified, and many of them have different biological activities, being biofertilizers, biopesticides and biostimulants. When it comes to metabolites used in agriculture, bacteria and fungi are the microorganisms that stand out most in their production. This work is presented as a literature review highlighting the benefits, challenges, applications and future perspectives of bioinputs in agriculture.
