Current agricultural practice depends on a wide use of pesticides, bactericides, and fungicides. Increased demand for organic products indicates consumer preference for reduced chemical use. Therefore, there is a need to develop novel sustainable strategies for crop protection and enhancement that do not rely on genetic modification and/or harmful chemicals. An increasing body of evidence indicates that bacterial and fungal microbial volatile organic compounds (MVOCs) might provide an alternative to the use of chemicals to protect plants from pathogens and provide a setting for better crop welfare. It is well known that MVOCs can modulate the physiology of plants and microorganisms and in this Opinion we propose that MVOCs can be exploited as an ecofriendly, cost-effective, and sustainable strategy for agricultural practices.
目前的农业实践依赖于广泛使用杀虫剂、杀菌剂和杀真菌剂。对有机产品的需求增加表明消费者偏好减少化学物质的使用。因此，需要开发新的可持续的作物保护和增强策略，这些策略不依赖于基因改造和/或有害化学物质。越来越多的证据表明，细菌和真菌微生物挥发性有机化合物（MVOCs）可能提供一种替代化学物质的方法，以保护植物免受病原体的侵害，并为更好的作物福利创造环境。众所周知，MVOCs 可以调节植物和微生物的生理，在本观点中，我们提出 MVOCs 可以被利用为一种环保、经济实惠和可持续的农业实践策略。
