Abstract

Globally escalating food demand and unpredictable global warming have threatened the humanity in jeopardy. Excessive use of commercial pesticides and chemical fertilizers is providing ease of handling, but their toxic nondegradable residues are known to exert negative impacts on the plants, microbes, and even soil health. The unpredictable climate change leads to enhanced incidence of abiotic and biotic stresses in plants. Several integral approaches of fungi, microbes, plant, and their derived metabolites are used to encounter the stresses for effective crop management. The secondary metabolites are proving their immense potential and have time and again being proven to cope up the unavoidable and unpredictable changes due to adverse environmental conditions. The chapter highlights the role of both microbial and plant-based flavonoids and carotenoids as key agents for managing biotic and abiotic stress tolerance in crop plants. Moreover, such feasible and efficient biological application using plant-based composition helps to mitigate the challenges and open new gates of sustainable agriculture.
