Other claims from this paper (6)
- Association Biocontrol results depended strongly on assay method, plant growth conditions and genotype.
- Observation Serratia plymuthica F20 was the most promising Brassica biocontrol candidate.
- Observation Positive antagonist results were confirmed in field trials and by microscopy.
- Observation Seed treatment with antagonists had an exceptionally low ecological footprint.
- Mechanism Indigenous soil and seed microbiomes were identified as key to disease outbreaks and suppression.
- Recommendation The authors recommend integrating microbiome data and combining biocontrol and breeding strategies.
