Abstract: Plant diseases caused by infectious viruses have had a significant impact on human society and the environment, causing significant losses in food supply, economic growth, and ecological resilience. The Irish famine and the Bengali famine were caused by rice brown spot and potato late blight pathogens, while Dutch elm disease and chestnut blight caused devastating pandemics in North America and Europe. These diseases can cause annual yield losses of 13% to 22%, and billions of dollars in losses in staple crops. Biological control strategies, such as crop diversification and field hygiene, have been to control interactions between plants, pathogens, and the environment. Host resistance is a practical and environmentally beneficial plant disease control strategy, as it involves the release of effector proteins by pathogens that cause resistant responses in plants. Biological control, which originated in world 4,000 years ago, has evolved into numerous biological control mechanisms, including plant inducers, microbial metabolites, beneficial microbes, and plant extracts in crop diversification.
Key words: plant diseases, biological control, resistance, developed, pathogens, environment.
