BACTERIAL CONTROL OF FUSARIUM DRY ROT OF POTATOES

摘要

Bacteria which will suppress fungus-induced potato disease under storage conditions have been screened and selected from soil samples. A method for isolating these antagonists, their use in controlling potato disease and specific isolates which are inhibitory to potato dry rot disease under post harvest conditions constitute the essence of the invention. The subject biocontrol agents are considered to be economically-feasible alternatives to chemical agents currently in use for this purpose.
