e0“Cucumber plants are often attacked by various pathogens, which can considerably decrease production and cause significant losses. One of the most prevalent fungal diseases is powdery mildew, caused by an obligate pathogen, Podosphaera xanthii”
e6“The highest increase of fresh and dry weight was found with B. licheniformis CS and B. aerius strain CF treatment at two days before or after infection”

Other claims from this paper (10)
- Intervention effect B. licheniformis culture filtrates reduced conidial germination of the pathogen by 60% in vitro.
- Intervention effect B. aerius culture filtrates reduced conidial germination of the pathogen by 85% in vitro.
- Intervention effect Under greenhouse conditions, B. licheniformis applied as a cell suspension two days before inoculation reduced powdery mildew disease severity by 45.3%.
- Intervention effect Under greenhouse conditions, B. aerius applied as culture filtrate two days before inoculation reduced powdery mildew disease severity by 77.3%.
- Intervention effect Treatment with the bacterial strains significantly increased fresh and dry weights of cucumber plants.
- Intervention effect B. aerius strain CF treatment gave the highest increase of fresh and dry weight when applied two days before or after infection.
- Intervention effect Bioagent treatment enhanced the content of total phenols, polyphenol oxidase and peroxidase in cucumber plants.
- Intervention effect Foliar sprays of B. licheniformis and B. aerius significantly induced resistance to P. xanthii in cucumber plants.
- Intervention effect Foliar sprays of the bioagents stimulated many biochemical functions in cucumber plants.
- Recommendation The authors propose B. licheniformis and B. aerius as an effective alternative to harmful chemicals for cucumber powdery mildew.
