Advantages and limitations in bioherbicides use

Conclusion
The bioherbicides approach is gaining momentum
New bioherbicides will find place in irrigated lands, wastelands as well
as in parasite weeds or resistant weed control
Research on synergy test of pathogens and herbicides for inclusion in
IWM, developmental technology, fungal toxins, and application of
biotechnology, especially genetic engineering is required
Bioherbicides will not solve all of the environmental and weed
management problems associated with synthetic herbicides, nor will
replace the current or future arsenal of synthetic herbicides
Their role will probably be complimentary components in successful IWM
systems, and in the discovery of novel phytotoxins with new chemistries
and new molecular sites of action
Continued research on these areas is important in order to fully
understand interactions of microorganisms and plants (crops and
weeds), and to discover new phytopathogenic microorganisms or
microbial phytotoxins useful as bioherbicides
