      abstract = {Antifungal Metabolites of Rhizobacteria for Sustainable  Agriculture focuses on plant health in agro-ecosystems of  various economically important cash and food crops with a  concern to promote sustainable agriculture. They have  emerged as a key organic tool for enhancing yields. In a  natural environment the interactions between plants and  phytopathogenic fungi are complex and survival requires a  development of resistance to plant diseases. Diversity of  Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR) diversity  depends on the nature of root exudates and soil conditions  that affect their interaction with host plants. Novel  strategies, such as, applying bioactive natural products  against the pathogenic fungus are required to control  disease sustainably. Various classes of secondary  metabolites including lipopeptides, macrolides, alkaloids,  terpenoids and phenolics from microorganisms and plants  strongly suppress fungal growth and can also be effective  in controlling plant diseases both in vitro and in vivo.  The modes of actions of some potential antifungal secondary  metabolites against pathogenic fungus are also discussed.  Eco-friendly fungal species and their metabolites are  excellent agents used for regulating various fungal and  bacterial phytopathogens and may have tremendous potential  for other applications, and play a key role in enhancing  plant tolerance to stress. Antifungal Metabolites of  Rhizobacteria for Sustainable Agriculture also covers  bovine-based formulations used for sustainable production  and nutritional security through horticultural crops,  thereby addressing the problems associated with  malnutrition and under-nutrition encountered by small and  marginal farmers, as well as by families facing resource  constraints. These techniques can also improve breathable  air, drinkable water, and consumable foods. This book  addresses the need to mitigate the health problems of  people via organic crop production and to improve the  socio-economic status of farmers (especially in developing  countries), and to revitalize agricultural sustainability.},
