Abstract

The increasing population and the resulted problems necessitate the application of ecofriendly and economically acceptable methods in sustainable agriculture. Integrated management of plant diseases and pests is an important part of such a system. Superior strains of the bacterial species, Bacillus thuringiensis Berliner can play multiple roles in biological control of plant diseases and pests and promote plant growth and development. Other useful bioactivities of the species, such as bioremediation are not covered in this paper
