Then she explained Physiological specialization, Forma specialis (f. sp.) and Biotype. Then she shifted toward the present trends towards biologicals have created interests in the market development of liquid formulations, solid formulations, polymeric formulations, and metabolite formulations. Many diseases caused by soil borne pathogens are difficult to predict, detect, and diagnose. She explained management of soil borne disease through biocontrol agents. Further she explained the bio fertilizers, bio stimulants and bio pesticides are the major components of plant health management. She explained different application of Tricoderma in plant disease management.
After her session she give response to the questions and interact with the students. So many students asked questions regarding Bio control agents, Plant health management, response of native and introduced populations to different management practices.
