THE INFLUENCE OF ANTAGONISTIC BACTERIA SERRATIA PLYMUTHICA AND BACILLUS SUBTILIS ON AFFECTION OF SALAD PLANTS BY RHIZOCTONIA SOLANI

Abstract

High efficiency of mixture of two bacterial strains Serratia plymuthica and Bacillus subtilis was shown against development of Rhizoctonia solani on plants of salad variety Leny (Nunhems). Survival, biomass of plants, and number of affected plants and leaves were analyzed in the experiment. Efficiency of application of a preparation of mixture bacterial strains was comparable with the chemical preparation Monceren L recommended for suppression of this disease caused Rhizoctonia solani.
