Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce an upcoming second Special Issue on Bacteriophage-based Biocontrol in Agriculture. This Special Issue will cover the latest advancements in the field of phage biocontrol, including the identification and characterization of phages, their delivery methods, and their efficacy and safety in controlling bacterial infections in crops. We are inviting scientists to submit their original research articles, review papers, and short communications on the topic of bacteriophage-based biocontrol in agriculture. We encourage submissions that cover a wide range of topics, including but not limited to phage identification and characterization, phage cocktails and their efficacy in controlling plant bacterial infections, and phage delivery methods and their optimization. Our aim is to provide a comprehensive overview of the current state of the art in bacteriophage-based biocontrol of major bacterial plant pathogens, and highlight the potential of this promising, ecological and safe approach to reducing the use of agrochemicals in agriculture. Research on phage scaleup, bioproduction, and field application is welcome.
We invite you to contribute your research to this Special Issue and be part of the scientific community that is shaping the future of eco-sustainable and safe agriculture. Don't miss this opportunity to showcase your research and contribute to this important topic.
