Potential Bacterial Antagonists for the Control of Charcoal Rot (<i>Macrophomina phaseolina</i>) in Strawberry

The effect of antagonistic bacteria to control <i>Macrophomina phaseolina</i> was evaluated under in vitro, growth chamber, greenhouse and field conditions. A total of 177 bacteria, isolated from <i>Athrocaulon macrostachyum</i> rhizosphere of the Lebrija marsh, were screened...

In the greenhouse assays, Hvs8 strain increased root dry mass by 30%, over the control. In the field trials, production and fruit quality were not significantly different between Hvs8 treatment and non-treated control, but plant mortality and plant mortality associated to <i>M. phaseolina</i> decreased by more than 24% and 65% respectively, in Hvs8 treatment.
