Safety of microorganisms intended for pest and plant disease control: a framework for scientific evaluation

1996-12-01

Abstract excerpt

Microorganisms are enormous but largely untapped natural resources for biological control of pests and diseases. There are two primary reasons for their underployment for pest or disease control: (1) the technical difficulties of using microorganisms for biological control, owing to a lack of fundamental information on them and their ecology, and (2) the costs of product development and regulatory approvals requir...
