Other claims from this paper (5)
- Association Changing antagonist biomass production media shifted Enterobacter sp. S11:P:08 from first to fourth in efficacy rank.
- Association Medium phase alone had little effect on efficacy ranking of the five antagonists.
- Association Four of five antagonists ranked from first to last depending on pathogen isolate.
- Association Potato host cultivar altered antagonist efficacy rankings.
- Recommendation The authors recommend using varied production media, pathogen isolates and host cultivars in antagonist selection bioassays.
