We assessed a collection of 47 fluorescent Pseudomonas spp., some with known biological     control activity against certain soil-borne phytopathogenic fungi such as, Macrophomina phaseolina, Rhizoctonia solani, Phytophthora nicotianae var. parasitica, Pythium sp. and  Fusarium sp. in vitro and the potential to produce known secondary metabolites such as, siderophore, HCN and protease. The resu...

Abstract Background Foot rot/gummosis of citrus, caused by Phytophthora spp., is the most important disease responsible for yield losses 10 to 30% in fruit production major citrus growing countries. Considering burden disease, present study was undertaken evaluate different native potent strains Trichoderma spp. against foot citrus. Results Based on molecular characteristics, i.e., ITS ribosoma...

There is a growing interest in using biocontrol agents to control fungal diseases and increase the production of jujube fruit (Zizyphus jujua Miller var. inermis Rehder). The purpose this study was use Bacillus licheniformis PR2 inhibit promote orchards. B. secreted 92.4 unit/mL chitinase, which inhibited phytopathogens through hyphal alterations with swelling bulbous structures. also mycelial ...
