This study aimed at evaluating the ability of SL-44 to control Rhizoctonia solani and promote pepper (Capsicum annuum) growth. Strain SL-44 was isolated from plant rhizosphere and the pot experiment results indicated that the dry and fresh weights of pepper in SL-44 and Rhizoctonia solani (S-R) treatment were 45.5% and 54.2% higher than those in Rhizoctonia solani (R) treatment and 18.2% and 31...

Bhut jolokia (Capsicum chinense Jacq.) is one of the world’s hottest chilli entered in the Guinness book of world record (2006). Many pest and diseases ruined Bhut jolokia and among them damping-off disease of seedling as well root and stem rot in young transplants caused by Rhizoctonia solani is one of the important limiting factor in cultivation and production (Ngullie and Daiho, 2013). Even ...

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 ...

Rhizoctonia sheath diseases of rice, comprising sheath blight, sheath spot and aggregate sheath spot, cause significant yield losses in many rice-growing regions of the world.
