<i>Fusarium Oxysporum</i> f. sp. <i>Cannabis</i> Isolated from <i>Cannabis Sativa</i> L.: In Vitro and In Planta Biocontrol by a Plant Growth Promoting-Bacteria Consortium

Industrial hemp (<i>Cannabis sativa</i> L.) is a multipurpose plant used in several fields. Several phytopathogens attack hemp crops. <i>Fusarium oxysporum</i> is a common fungal pathogen that causes wilt disease in nurseries and in field cultivation and causes high losses. I...
