COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS COMPRISING ENDOPHYTIC BACTERIUM FOR APPLICATION TO GRASSES TO INCREASE PLANT GROWTH, SUPPRESS SOIL BORNE FUNGAL DISEASES, AND REDUCE VIGOR OF WEEDY COMPETITORS

摘要

Endophytic bacteria, compositions comprising the same, and methods of usethereof are disclosed which increase theroot ana snoot growth of grass hosts, suppress growth of soil borne fungalpathogens of host plants, increase resistance of the grass todiseases and reduce competitiveness of distantly related competitor weeds ofthe crop.
