Abstract:

Chaetomium, applied in biological control has many advantages, such as security, highly efficiency and low-toxicity. This paper summarized the biological control of Chaetomium, including products of antimicrobial metabolites or extracellular bacteriolytic enzymes, parasitism, microbial competition and inducing plants to produce defensive product. At last, the application of Chaetomium in biological control in future has been prospected.
