The document discusses biofungicides, which are biologically active substances derived from organisms that prevent and treat plant diseases. There are three main types of biofungicides: agricultural antibiotics produced through microbial fermentation, bacteria-based fungicides like Bacillus subtilis that inhibit fungi and promote growth, and fungal fungicides including Trichoderma species that control various plant pathogens. Biofungicides have advantages over chemical fungicides in that their active ingredients are naturally occurring microorganisms that are less toxic and help improve soil health.
