A study published in Plants journal highlighted the biocontrol potential of microalgae C. vulgaris and T. obliquus against the phytopathogenic fungus F. oxysporum in spinach.

In vivo trials confirmed the effectiveness of both microalgae in reducing disease severity and incidence.

A review article by Delaeter et al. explored the potential of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (AMF) as biostimulants and biocontrol agents in agriculture.

The review discussed how AMF can improve plant tolerance to stresses and reduce the need for chemical pesticides.

These findings suggest that both microalgae and AMF offer eco-friendly alternatives to synthetic chemicals in disease management.

The studies highlight the potential of natural approaches in sustainable agriculture.
