AbstractAustralian sugarcane industry is facing significant challenges affecting sugarcane growth. Sugarcane diseases and soil degradation are the two major threats. Many sugarcane diseases are caused by pathogenic fungi and bacteria. In order to protect sugarcane against these diseases, enormous efforts have been given on the development and application of chemical-based pesticides. The use of microorganism-based biocontrol agents to protect plant crops attracts increasing research interests due to the environmentally friendly nature of the agents. In addition, many biocontrol agents also promote plant growth through enhancing nutrient uptake and improving solid quality.
