Role of Cyanobacteria in Crop Protection

Abstract Cyanobacteria belong to a diverse group of photosynthetic prokaryotes. They are increasingly being used as biofertilizer in agriculture due to their role as diazotrophs, ameliorant for soil physical and chemical properties, establishing proficiency in diverse soil ecologies, and their ability to compete with native flora and fauna. These are producers of a large number of biologically active/biocidal substances. However, most researches concerning them and their derived products focus on pharmaceutical applications and their use in agriculture is often regarded as a secondary goal. Existing literature suggests that cyanobacteria may play a potential role in crop protection. Thus, this is the first review of its kind that focuses on the potential application of cyanobacteria for crop protection. Commercial development of cyanobacterial compounds for non-biomedical applications includes herbicides, algicides, nematocides and insecticides. Bioactive compounds like, hapalindoles from Fischerella, calothrixins from Calothrix, cyanobacterins LU-1 and LU-2 from Nostoc and γ–lactone from Scytonema are proposed to possess allelopathic effect. Cyanobacteria show significant biocidal activity against important agricultural insect-pests. The biomass extract of Nostoc can kill Helicoverpa armigera larvae at a dose of 2.20 mg cm$^{−2}$. The antimicrobial substances produced include nostocyclyne A, nosto fungicidin, nostocin A, Ambigol A and B, hapalindoles, tjipanazoles and scytophycins and exhibit fungicidal activity against important plant pathogens. These biocontrol agents provide multiple benefits and act as useful pointers for improving cultivation practices and establishment of plants in diverse inhospitable/barren habitats. They depict a promising multifaceted bioinoculants in organic farming practices popular in present day agriculture.

About National Digital Library of India (NDLI)
NDLI logo

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
