Streptomyces are deeply studied and applied in the biocontrol of plant diseases. Streptomyces are widely distributed in soil, ocean and plant tissue. Streptomyces and the bioactive metabolites produced by Streptomyces exhibited antifungal, antibacterial, antivirus, nematicidal, pesticidal and herbicidal effects. The biocontrol mechanisms of Streptomyces against plant diseases, including antifungal activity, mycoparasitism, inducing resistance, enhancing plant growth, producing volatile organic compounds were summarized. The commercialized biocontrol agents developed based on Streptomyces were introduced. The research on Streptomyces-based biocontrol agents is limited in China, and the development and promotion of such agents could decrease the use of chemical fungicides and promote the environmental-friendly sustainable development of agriculture.
