Potato soft rot, caused by Bacillus pumilus Od23, greatly affect potato tuber quality in storage and cultivars of Mali and indicated that it can affect all potato cultivars. Bacteria isolated from soil rhizosphere samples of healthy Malian indigenous trees were screened for their antagonistic effect against this pathogen. Three actinomycetes isolates (RoN, G1P, and N1F) were the most effective microbioagents in suppressing the growth of the pathogen. The biological control essay showed the possibility of controlling potato soft rot by these three actinomycetes isolates under conservation conditions. These treatments significantly decreased soft rot compared with the untreated potato tuber slices. The microbiological control results of this study suggest that the actinomycetes isolates RoN, G1P and and J1N are effective microbioagents in controlling soft rot of potato and could be considered as promising alternative to chemical products.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
