With the continuous increase in the global population comes the increased demand for food to sustain the population. Another implication is that the farmers do not use their land efficiently. These results imply that the technologies used by the farmers either are becoming obsolete or applied inefficiently. However, the increase in acreage of the land used for production is indirectly proportional to the yields obtained from the fields. Due to the high demand for agricultural produce, farmers have increased the acreage of land used to grow their crops. Since farmers engage in both cash crop and subsistence farming, they can either use their agricultural produce locally or export it. and the implications of these advancements for agriculture and food security.Īgriculture is an important economic activity globally because almost 65% of working adults in underprivileged populations earn their livelihood from agriculture and it contributes significantly to the global gross domestic product (GDP). This paper analyzes the advancements made towards the effective and efficient biocontrol of Meloidogyne spp. fungi as a biocontrol agent for these pathogens. Over the years, researchers have conducted several studies on the effective use of Trichoderma spp. are plant-parasitic nematodes that cause significant losses to farmers in terms of reduced plant yields. Of the recognized biotic causes of disease, root-knot nematodes, also known as Meloidogyne spp.
Biotic and abiotic factors cause diseases. Diseases are a significant cause of reduced crop yields globally. The reduced yields result from outdated and ineffective farming practices as well as pests and diseases. Despite this, farmers continue to harvest lower yields than anticipated, which threatens global food security. The continuous growth in the global population has seen farmers increase the crop production acreage to meet the increasing demand for food and avert food shortage. Agriculture is an important activity globally since it ensures food security and is a source of income for many families, especially those living in underprivileged countries.
