Identification of Volatile Organic Compounds Produced by Xenorhabdus indica Strain AB and Investigation of Their Antifungal Activities

Abstract

Fungal phytopathogens, particularly Fusarium oxysporum , are a major problem worldwide, especially in the postharvest of vital economic crops. Concerns about negative effects on the environment and human health have led to increasing restrictions on the use of chemical fungicides, and therefore, biological control agents are now being considered alternatives.
