A thesis on new ways of farming - Brief considerations

This book shows more correct ways of farming with the environment, which has been so badly damaged by today's agriculture. The first article states that biological control by bacteria can be as efficient as pesticides in controlling a resistant pathogen, the fungus Macrophomina Phaseolina. The second article shows a promising way of biologically controlling bacterial diseases, using viruses that are inside them, i.e. bacteriophages. This method has no environmental impact as it is very specific to its host. It should be noted that work on viral biological controllers is very scarce, as they are still not very aggressive, but it is a very promising field.
