CONTROLLING PLANT PATHOGENS WITH FUNGAL/BACTERIAL ANTAGONIST COMBINATIONS COMPRISING TRICHODERMA VIRENS AND BACILLUS SUBTILIS VAR.AMYLOLIQUEFACIENS

摘要

Fungal/bacterial antagonist combinations, a seed coated with one of thecombinations anda plant protected from plant pathogens by one of the combinations. Theinvention is also afungal/bacterial antagonist combination comprising a Trichoderma virens fungalantagonist and aBacillus subtilis var. amyloliquefaciens (Bacillus amyloliquefaciens)bacterial antagonist and itsuse for controlling plant pathogens as a biocontrol agent, bio-pesticide orbio-fungicide. Theinvention also finds utility as a fungal/bacterial antagonist combinationapplied to the seed, stalkor leaf that results in an increase in plant yield. Control of early and lateseason stalk and root rotcaused by fungi such as Fusarium, Phythium, Phytophthora and Penicillium intomatoes, peppers,turf grass, soybeans, sunflower, wheat and corn is achieved.
