Özet
Fusarium moniliforme (Fm), casual agent is root rot disease of is a serious fungal disease in maize production areas in worldwide.In this study, it was aimed to evaluate the biocontrol effectiveness of some beneficial bacteria against Fm under in-vitro and in-vivo conditions.In-vitro test was performed with dual culture method for determining the effects of 16 candidate bacteria against Fm.In-vivo biocontrol tests for Fm were realized by five promising isolates, which were selected from in-vitro test results.Naturally contaminated maize seeds with Fm were covered bacteria with carboxy methyl cellulose (CMC, 1%, v/v) with beneficial bacteria and sowed in pots for in-vivo tests.Pantoea agglomerans E325 was the most successful bacterial treatment inhibiting the mycelial development of Fm at the rate of 39.68% and decreasing the disease development by the 82.61% efficacy compared to the positive control.
