Other claims from this paper (14)
- Observation All Bacillus subtilis strains inhibited F. oxysporum mycelial growth by approximately 17 to 48%.
- Observation All Bacillus subtilis strains inhibited F. graminearum mycelial growth by 10 to 32%.
- Observation Selected strains inhibited F. oxysporum spore germination by 20 to 48%.
- Observation Selected strains inhibited F. graminearum spore germination by 14 to 32%.
- Intervention effect Eight strains significantly reduced soybean Fusarium root rot severity with seed or soil treatment.
- Observation SB01, SB04, SB23 and SB24 were most effective against both root rot pathogens under seed or soil treatment.
- Intervention effect Four strains as seed treatments reduced root rot severity by 43 to 63%.
- Intervention effect Seed treatments increased emergence by 13 to 17%.
- Intervention effect Seed treatments increased plant height by 9 to 18%.
- Intervention effect Soil treatments reduced root rot severity by 68 to 74%.
- Intervention effect Soil treatments increased emergence by 14 to 18%.
- Intervention effect Soil treatments increased plant height by 11 to 23%.
- Intervention effect Soil treatments increased root dry weight by 16 to 24%.
- Recommendation The authors suggest Bacillus subtilis strains as alternatives to fungicides for soybean Fusarium root rot, with soil treatment potentially more effective than seed treatment.
