Biological Control Agents for Mycotoxin Control: Are They Resilient Enough? (original) (raw)

2020, Progress in Biological Control

AI-generated Abstract

Mycotoxins are hazardous compounds produced by various fungi that contaminate food and feed, posing severe health risks and economic challenges. Biological control agents (BCAs) offer a potential strategy for managing mycotoxin contamination through diverse mechanisms, including competitive exclusion and biochemical inhibition of mycotoxigenic fungi. However, the efficacy of these agents is influenced by environmental conditions and their resilience under stress, necessitating a nuanced approach to BCA development. This work highlights the need to integrate agronomic factors and environmental stressors into BCA deployment strategies to enhance mycotoxin control effectively.
