Individual plant growth-promoting rhizobacterial (PGPR) strains (Bacillus thuringiensis B2, Bacillus subtilis B10 and Enterobacter cloacae B16) their combination were used, with or without Pythium oligandrum, against Sclerotinia sclerotiorum. In vitro, all biological control agents (BCAs) reduced successfully hyphal growth of the targeted pathogenic fungus. They displayed antifungal activity by...

Nacrtak Rot is one of the most important defects in timber assortments of Norway spruce (Picea abies). With the aim to investigate this phenomenon, we analyzed 1,334 spruce trees from 65 locations across Slovenia. The study showed that the incidence of rot was higher in even-aged stands compared to uneven-aged stands. Lower-trunk rot (for the purpose of this study, lower-trunk rot is rot that a...

Abstract Sclerotinia stem rot, caused by sclerotiorum (Lib.) de Bary, is a major disease in soybean many parts of the world. Sustainable control measures to combat this pathogen can be better achieved combining different available tools. One element fungal diseases could changing biological activities adding organic matter inputs, such as biochar and compost, soil. Other players are arbuscular ...

seven antagonistic bacteria belonging to pseudomonas fluorescens species were evaluated on the basis of inhibitory zone of sclerotinia sclerotiorum fungal growth finally, the most suitable strain (p4) which exerted the greatest effect on reducing the causal agent of sclerotinia root rot was selected for further germinator trails. nine formulations were prepared on the basis of talc powder from ...
