Abstract

Constant use of systemic pesticides can increase the yield and quality of crops, but also leads to increased resistance and to appearance of residues in food and the environment. Therefore, the intention is to replace environmentally unfriendly plant protection methods with alternative ones. Biological protection of plants is the opposite of the use of pesticides and has a positive effect on biodiversity and the development of biological cycles. One of the forms of biological protection is the application of endophytic organisms that inhabit the plant in their life cycle, but do not harm it at any stage of their growth and development. It is currently known that there are over a million species of endophytic microorganisms which on average suggests that each plant hosts three to four species. The benefits that the host plant has are multiple, such as improved growth and development, protection from pests, better absorption of nutrients, greater resistance to abiotic and biotic stress.
