The climate change is thought to affect the virulence of some known plant pathogens and can also lead to the emergence of new virulent strains. I want to know if the otherwise is possible?
The binucleate strains of Rhizoctonia solani are considered as avirulent strains. So they can be used as bioagent factors against the pathogenic strains of the fungus itself.
Also, some strains of the fungus Fusarium oxysporum are avirulent strains and they can be used as bioagents in the biological control of plant pathogens. it can be used against the pathogenic strains of F. oxysporum itself.
