Abstract
Due to the emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria in agricultural sector, controlling bacterial plant diseases using antibiotics has become challenging. Researchers have turned to alternative methods, such as using bacteriophages as a biocide for plants instead of antibiotics, to control pathogenic bacterial plant diseases. However, the application of bacteriophages as a biocide in agriculture faces several challenges that may impede its success. In this review article, we discuss the various issues that could lead to the failure of its application. We also propose solutions to address each problem to increase awareness and familiarity before implementing the method to better ensure its success.
