NEW BACILLUS SUBTILIS STRAIN ATCC® PTA-8805, BIOPRODUCTS CONTAINING SAID STRAIN AND USE OF THE SAME TO CONTROL THE FUNGUS RHIZOCTONIA SOLANI, AN IMPORTANT PLANT PATHOGEN THAT ATTACKS ECONOMICALLY RELEVANT CROPS

摘要

The present application is directed to a new Bacillus subtilis strain deposited under the access number ATCC® PTA-8805, to bioproduct formulations comprising viable cells of the new strain, which can be encapsulated or in a concentrated liquid form, and to the use of these bioproducts to biologically control and decrease the incidence of Rhizoctonia solani, a plant pathogen that attacks economically important crops. The bioproducts are applied in encapsulated form directly over tubers or spraying a concentrated liquid form diluted in water over a plantation, and both formulations are applied in covered furrows.
