Method of controlling foliar diseases caused by fungal pathogens with fungicidal bacteria and novel pure cultures of fungicidal bacteria

摘要

Foliar fungal pathogens may be effectively controlled by fungicidal bacteria which naturally colonize the leaves together with these pathogens. These bacteria are isolated and then formulated into phytological fungicidal compositions which may then be applied to foliage for combating fungal infestations.;Several strains of such bacteria have been isolated into pure cultures and used effectively for controlling fungal infestations.
