ABSTRACT Strain L324-92 is a novel Bacillus sp. with biological activity against three root diseases of wheat, namely take-all caused by Gaeumannomyces graminis var. tritici, Rhizoctonia root rot caused by Rhizoctonia solani AG8, and Pythium root rot caused mainly by Pythium irregulare and P. ultimum, that exhibits broad-spectrum inhibitory activity and grows at temperatures from 4 to 40 degree...

The antifungal substances SH-1 and SH-2 were isolated from Streptomyces humidus strain S5-55 cultures by various purification procedures and identified as phenylacetic acid and sodium phenylacetate, respectively, based on the nuclear magnetic resonance, electron ionization mass spectral, and inductively coupled plasma mass spectral data. SH-1 and SH-2 completely inhibited the growth of Pythium ...

HOWELL, C. R., and R. D. STIPANOVIC. 1979. Control of Rhizoctonia solani on cotton seedlings with Pseudomonasfluorescens and with an antibiotic produced by the bacterium. Phytopathology 69:480-482. A strain of Pseudomonasfluorescens antagonistic to Rhizoctonia solani Alternaria sp., and Verticillium dahliae. A Fusarium sp. was only partially was isolated from the rhizosphere of cotton seedlings...

ABSTRACT Apple replant disease typically is managed through pre-plant application of broad-spectrum soil fumigants including methyl bromide. The impending loss or restricted use of soil fumigants and the needs of an expanding organic tree fruit industry necessitate the development of alternative control measures. The microbial community resident in a wheat field soil was shown to suppress compo...

Rhizoctonia solani isolates obtained from common beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) were included in an AG4 anastomosis group in accordance with hyphal anastomosis. In the subgrouping of AG4 isolates, PCR-RFLP patterns in the rDNA-ITS were used. After obtaining the genomic DNA belonging to R. solani AG4, an approximately 700 bp amplification product of the ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 region was obtained with PCR...

Rice sheath blight, a fungal disease caused by Rhizoctonia solani, seriously threatens rice production. Some of the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) produced microbes are inhibitory to growth plant pathogen, and hence may have potential as environmentally friendly antifungal substances. However, information on effect VOCs released rhizosphere bacteria R. solani is scarce. In this study, from c...

Crown and root rot disease was among the major problems in acid lime (Citrus aurantifolia) seedlings grown nursery of Warm Temperate Horticulture Centre, Kirtipur, Nepal. Samples diseased plants were investigated at laboratory Nepal Plant Disease Agro Associates. Rhizoctonia solani, Fusarium solani Alternaria citri found associated with samples. On pathogenicity testing R. showed symptoms like ...
