- Abstract
Fungicidal and fungistatic effects of biological preparations involving bacteria of the genera Pseudomonas and Bacillus and fungi of the genus Chaetomium on phytopathogenic fungi Didymella applanata and Botrytis cinerea were evalauated. All the biological preparations under study inhibited the growth of colonies of the fungi; however, the degree of the inhibition depended on the nature of each particular microorganism and the concentration of each particular preparation. The preparation containing Bacillus subtilis at a concentration of 0.2% effected maximum suppression of B. cinerea (the diameter of the colonies decreased sevenfold). The preparations containing bacteria of the genus Pseudomonas and fungi of the genus Chaetomium were most efficient in suppressing D. applanata. The preparations containing B. subtilis and Chaetomium spp. showed promise as agents against simultaneous development of spur blight and Botrytis blight.
