Biological Weed Management with Bacterial Herbicide
A Bacterial Herbicide is a type of biological weed control agent that uses specific bacteria or bacterial metabolites to suppress or eliminate unwanted plant species. Unlike synthetic chemical herbicides, bacterial herbicides rely on naturally occurring microorganisms that target particular weeds without broadly affecting surrounding vegetation. This approach is part of integrated weed management strategies that aim to balance effectiveness with environmental considerations.
The bacteria used in a Bacterial Herbicide are typically selected for their ability to infect or inhibit specific weed species. Once applied, the bacteria colonize plant tissues or produce compounds that interfere with the weed’s physiological processes. These effects may include disruption of cell function, blockage of nutrient transport, or induction of disease-like symptoms that weaken or kill the target plant. Because many bacterial herbicides are species-specific, they are generally used in situations where selective weed control is required.
Application methods vary depending on formulation and environmental conditions. Bacterial…
