Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Plant diseases are responsible for large losses in crop productivity and quality in the food and horticultural domain. These diseases are mainly caused by fungi and bacteria, but also to a lesser extent by viruses and nematodes, and their control by the use of diverse antimicrobials or biocontrol agents becomes crucial. However, to avoid the accumulation of synthetic products in ecosystems, and the emerging pesticide resistance, integrated and new approaches from the plant eliciting to the phytopathogens control are of great interest. Amongst them, nano- or smart materials can be effective, as well as biological antimicrobials. Anyway, all these new approaches have to fit the One Health concept, introduced in the 2000s and which promotes an integrated, systemic and unified approach to the public, animal and environmental health at local, national and global levels. Therefore, this Special Issue collects the latest findings and achievements in the new approaches to fighting against phytopathogens.
We hope you will find this Special Issue of interest. Your contribution will absolutely promote its success.
