Bioherbicides<br />
phytopathogenic microorganisms or<br />
microbial phytotox<strong>in</strong>s <strong>use</strong>ful for biological<br />
weed control applied <strong>in</strong> similar ways to<br />
conventional herbicides (Goeden, 1999;<br />
Boyetchko et al., 2002; Boyetchko <strong>and</strong><br />
Peng, 2004)<br />
Bioherbicides serves a more important role as a complimentary<br />
component <strong>in</strong> successful <strong>in</strong>tegrated management strategies<br />
(Hoagl<strong>and</strong> et al., 2007), <strong>and</strong> not as a replacement for chemical<br />
herbicides <strong>and</strong> other weed management tactics (S<strong>in</strong>gh et al., 2006)<br />
<strong>Advantages</strong> of <strong>bioherbicides</strong>:<br />
high degree of specificity of target weed;<br />
no effect on non-target <strong>and</strong> beneficial plants or man;<br />
absence of residue build-up <strong>in</strong> the environment;<br />
effectiveness for manag<strong>in</strong>g herbicide-resistant (HR) weed populations

Synergism between <strong>bioherbicides</strong><br />

Comb<strong>in</strong>ations of some <strong>bioherbicides</strong> <strong>and</strong> synthetic herbicides can be<br />
synergistic (Caulder <strong>and</strong> Stowell, 1988; Christy et al. 1993), result<strong>in</strong>g<br />
from lowered weed defense responses ca<strong>use</strong>d by the herbicides, thus<br />
mak<strong>in</strong>g the weeds more susceptible to pathogen attack (Hoagl<strong>and</strong>, 1996;<br />
2000).<br />

Different <strong>limitations</strong> about <strong>bioherbicides</strong> <strong>use</strong><br />
1. Environmental <strong>limitations</strong><br />
Environmental factors <strong>in</strong>fluence formulation performance of <strong>bioherbicides</strong> as<br />
<strong>in</strong>oculum production is dependent on sporelation of the formulation.<br />
In the application of <strong>bioherbicides</strong>, environmental conditions prevail<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong><br />
the phyllosphere of plants are frequently hostile for biological control<br />
agents (KENERLEY & ANDREWS, 1990; ANDREWS, 1992).<br />
phyllosphere of plants<br />
A requirement for more than 12 h of dew period for severe <strong>in</strong>fection by a<br />
pathogen, has been reported for several potential <strong>bioherbicides</strong> (BOYETTE<br />
& WALKER, 1985; WYMORE et al., 1988; MORIN et al., 1990; MAKOWSKI,<br />
1993) <strong>and</strong> this may limit the efficacy of the bioherbicide <strong>in</strong> the field.<br />

Biological <strong>limitations</strong><br />
It is desirable for a bioherbicide to act relatively quickly <strong>and</strong> have sufficient<br />
efficacy to control weeds. Unfortunately, many of the weed pathogens<br />
discovered may provide only partial control of only one weed species, even under<br />
ideal conditions (CHARUDATTAN, 2005).<br />
Host specificity is related to the basic biology of the pathogen <strong>and</strong> to host<br />
variability (GABRIEL, 1991; LEONARD, 1982). Biological constra<strong>in</strong>ts <strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g<br />
host variability <strong>and</strong> resistance, as well (AULD, 2003).<br />

Technological-commercial <strong>limitations</strong><br />
Several technological <strong>limitations</strong> have been identified that could prevent the<br />
widespread <strong>use</strong> of <strong>bioherbicides</strong><br />
Pathogenical stra<strong>in</strong>s, formulation method <strong>and</strong> the <strong>in</strong>teraction of these two<br />
parameters significantly affect the shelf life of the formulations at room<br />
temperature (ALTMAN et al., 1990; HEBBAR et al., 1998).<br />
The most challeng<strong>in</strong>g aspect of formulat<strong>in</strong>g <strong>bioherbicides</strong> is to overcome the dew<br />
requirement that exists for several of them.<br />
water-reta<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g materials<br />
<strong>in</strong>vert emulsion<br />
vegetable oil emulsion
spray dry<strong>in</strong>g process Phomopsis sp. Carthamus lanatus<br />
Alternaria eichhorneae<br />

polyacrylamide
Conclusion<br />
The <strong>bioherbicides</strong> approach is ga<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g momentum<br />
New <strong>bioherbicides</strong> will f<strong>in</strong>d place <strong>in</strong> irrigated l<strong>and</strong>s, wastel<strong>and</strong>s as well<br />
as <strong>in</strong> parasite weeds or resistant weed control<br />
Research on synergy test of pathogens <strong>and</strong> herbicides for <strong>in</strong>clusion <strong>in</strong><br />
IWM, developmental technology, fungal tox<strong>in</strong>s, <strong>and</strong> application of<br />
biotechnology, especially genetic eng<strong>in</strong>eer<strong>in</strong>g is required<br />
Bioherbicides will not solve all of the environmental <strong>and</strong> weed<br />
management problems associated with synthetic herbicides, nor will<br />
replace the current or future arsenal of synthetic herbicides<br />
Their role will probably be complimentary components <strong>in</strong> successful IWM<br />
systems, <strong>and</strong> <strong>in</strong> the discovery of novel phytotox<strong>in</strong>s with new chemistries<br />
<strong>and</strong> new molecular sites of action<br />
Cont<strong>in</strong>ued research on these areas is important <strong>in</strong> order to fully<br />
underst<strong>and</strong> <strong>in</strong>teractions of microorganisms <strong>and</strong> plants (crops <strong>and</strong><br />
weeds), <strong>and</strong> to discover new phytopathogenic microorganisms or<br />
microbial phytotox<strong>in</strong>s <strong>use</strong>ful as <strong>bioherbicides</strong>
