1. Biocontrol

• General: Using living organisms to control pests or diseases.

• Scientific: The use of natural enemies, such as microbes or insects, to suppress harmful pests or pathogens in agriculture.

• General: The variety of tiny living things like bacteria or fungi in a specific place.

• Scientific: The range of different microbial species, genera, or strains present in an environment.

• General: The community of microorganisms living around or inside plants.

• Scientific: The collective genetic material and communities of bacteria, fungi, archaea, and viruses associated with plants.

• General: Substances released by plant roots into the soil.

• Scientific: Compounds exuded by plant roots, including sugars, amino acids, and organic acids, which influence the soil microbiota.

• General: A plant and all the microorganisms living with it.

• Scientific: The ecological unit formed by a host organism (like a plant) and its associated microorganisms.

• General: Substances made by microbes to capture iron.

• Scientific: Small, high-affinity iron-chelating molecules secreted by microorganisms to facilitate iron uptake in low-iron environments.

• General: Natural chemicals that control plant growth.

• Scientific: Plant hormones like auxins, gibberellins, and cytokinins that regulate growth and response to environmental stimuli.

• General: A germ that causes disease.

• Scientific: Any organism, such as bacteria, viruses, or fungi, that causes disease in its host.

• General: Chemicals used in farming, like fertilizers or pesticides.

• Scientific: Substances such as fertilizers, herbicides, or insecticides applied to crops to enhance growth or control pests.

• General: Separating different parts or sections.

• Scientific: The distinct physical or functional division of microbial communities, such as above-ground vs. below-ground microbiomes.

• General: The study of all the genes a cell is using at a time.

• Scientific: The analysis of RNA transcripts produced by the genome, reflecting active gene expression.

• General: Microbes added to soil or plants to help them grow.

• Scientific: Preparations of beneficial microorganisms applied to plants or soil to enhance plant growth or control diseases.
