摘要

Potato cultivation faces significant challenges from various pests and diseases, including insect infestations, viral diseases, bacterial, fungal, and oomycete infections, all of which can severely impact yield and crop quality. This study presents a systematic review of the application of biological control agents (BCAs) as sustainable alternatives to chemical pesticides for managing potato pests and diseases. It outlines the types of microbial control agents, such as fungi, bacteria, and viruses, as well as natural predators and parasitoids, with a focus on their mechanisms of action, including antagonism, induction of systemic resistance, and competitive exclusion. The study also evaluates the effectiveness of integrating BCAs into integrated pest management (IPM) programs through field trials and case studies. The research underscores the importance of biological control agents in promoting sustainable potato cultivation and offers practical recommendations to enhance crop resilience and reduce reliance on chemical pesticides.
