Agricultural productivity in the Great Lakes Countries of Central Africa, including Burundi, Rwanda, and the Democratic Republic of Congo, is affected by a wide range of diseases and pests which are mainly controlled by chemical pesticides. However, more than 30% of the pesticides used in the region are banned in European Union due to their high toxicity. Globally available safe and eco-friendly biological alternatives to chemicals are virtually non-existent in the region. PGPR-based biocontrol products are the most dominant in the market and have proven their efficacy in controlling major plant diseases reported in the region. With this review, we present the current situation of disease and pest management and urge the need to utilize -based control as a possible sustainable alternative to chemical pesticides. A repertoire of strains from the group that have shown great potential to antagonize local pathogens is provided, and efforts to promote their use, as well as the search for indigenous and more adapted strains to local agro-ecological conditions, should be undertaken to make sustainable agriculture a reality in the region.
包括布隆迪、卢旺达和刚果民主共和国在内的中非大湖地区国家的农业生产力受到多种病虫害的影响，这些病虫害主要通过化学农药进行控制。然而，该地区使用的农药中有超过30%因毒性高而在欧盟被禁止使用。该地区几乎不存在全球通用的安全且环保的化学物质生物替代品。基于植物根际促生菌的生物防治产品在市场上占主导地位，并已证明其在控制该地区报告的主要植物病害方面的功效。通过本综述，我们介绍了病虫害管理的现状，并敦促有必要利用基于[此处原文可能有误，疑似缺失具体内容]的控制方法作为化学农药可能的可持续替代品。提供了一组来自[此处原文可能有误，疑似缺失具体内容]组的菌株，这些菌株已显示出对当地病原体具有巨大的拮抗潜力，应努力推广它们的使用，并寻找适合当地农业生态条件的本土及更适应的[此处原文可能有误，疑似缺失具体内容]菌株，以使该地区实现可持续农业。
