Abstract:
Actinomycetes as a suitable biofertilizer and biocontrol agent in Agriculture and Horticulture crops compare to other microbes because laboratory to field transfer easily and good self-life under different biotic and abiotic factors. The prokaryotes with the highest commercial and biotechnological value are actinomycetes. Streptomyces spp., a genus of actinomycetes, are widely employed for the manufacturing of antibiotics and agrochemicals as well as biological control agents against fungal phytopathogens such Pythium ultimum, Fusarium oxysporum, Sclerotinia homeocarpa, and Phytophthora fragariae that cause soil-borne diseases. Streptomyces coelicolor HHFA2 strain is responsible for preventing bacterial rot in onions. Streptomyces, Amycolatopsis, Micromonospora, Frankia, and Nocardia actinobacterial strains have been shown to effectively reduce soil-borne diseases while assisting host plants in mobilizing and acquiring macro- and micronutrients. Testing was done on isolates of Actinoplanes philippinensis, Actinoplanes missouriensis, and Streptomyces clavuligerus against Drosophila melanogaster. Synthetic pesticides are widely used, which has resulted in the emergence of pathogens and insect pests that are resistant to them, environmental pollution, contamination of groundwater, and an overall ecological imbalance.
