the contrary, Balogh (2006) observed no improvement in control of citrus canker or citrus
bacterial spot with the combination of bacteriophages with copper-mancozeb.

Bacteriophage-based disease control of plant diseases is a quickly developing fi eld of
research. A wide range of strategies has been employed to increase control effi cacy. Phages
are applied alone as well as part of an integrated disease management approach. Phage treat-
ment is currently used in greenhouses and production fi elds in Florida as a part of a standard
integrated management program for tomato bacterial spot control (Momol
et al.,
2002).
Owing to their increasing effi cacy and contribution to sustainable agriculture, phage-based
products are likely to gain a bigger share in the bactericide market in the future.
