The antagonistic activity of three bacterial isolates namely Microbacterium terregens, Cellulosimicrobium cellulans and Bacillus amylollquefaciens was evaluated through direct confrontation method and filtrates culture against the growth of Fusarium solani, Fusarium oxysporum, Rhizoctonia solani and Phytophthra cactorum. All bacterial isolates showed the inhibition of the mycelia growth of the ...

biological control of soil borne plant pathogens with antagonistic microorganism has been more attracting interest. especially, burkholderia strains have been intensively investigated as biological agents. the objective of this study was finding an effective biologica control agent against the canola damping off caused by rhizoctonia solani. rhizoctonia damping-off is one of the most important ...

We have tested whether a gene encoding a polygalacturonase-inhibiting protein (PGIP) protects tobacco against a fungal pathogen (Rhizoctonia solani) and two oomycetes (Phytophthora parasitica var. nicotianae and Peronospora hyoscyami f. sp. tabacina). The trials were performed in greenhouse conditions for R. solani and P. parasitica and in the field for P. hyoscyami. Our results show that expre...

Damping off caused by Rhizoctonia solani (isolate AG4) constrains growing soybean in the north Iranian province of Golestan. The pathogen was grown on malt agar containing 0, 50, 100 or 200 ppm trifluralin then its vegetative growth and virulence were evaluated. The response of soybean cv. Williams seedlings grown in soil containing 0, 0.5, 1 and 2 ?g ai g-1 trifluralin was investigated. On mal...
