Strategies of Microbiome in Vegetable Disease Management: Trends,
Challenges and Future Perspectives
Abstract
Vegetables are essential for human diets, providing crucial nutrients
for metabolic reactions, but their production is low in many countries
due to soil-borne diseases and other factors. The strategies of
microbiome on vegetable disease management, challenges and future
perspectives needs attention and awareness creation. Therefore, the
objective of this review is reviewing and creating awareness on the
Strategies, challenges and future perspectives of microbiome in
Vegetable Disease Management. Plant microbiomes, microbial communities
associated with plant tissues, can help manage diseases like Fusarium
wilt, bacterial wilt, root rot, and others through mechanisms such us
production of Enzymes; secretion of extracellular cell wall degrading
enzymes, production of Antibiotics and secondary metabolites;
rhizosphere colonization, production of Siderophores, HCN and indole
acetic acid, production of Antibiotics and metabolites, antibiosis
induced systemic resistance, production of endo and exo glucanases and
production of antimicrobial activity of organic acids respectively.
Environmental and host-related factors, including agricultural
practices, temperature, plant species, and developmental stages,
influence plant-microbe interactions. Despite their potential,
microbiome strategies face challenges and require greater awareness and
more research. Future research should focus on understanding these
interactions under various conditions and host-specific factors.
