“…Fungicides, such as metalaxyl, have been used as a treatment; however, they only provide partial control (Cook et al , ). Biological control employing certain strains, such as the strains P. peoriae SP9 and S. fulvissimus FU14 used in this study, can be advantageous against these diseases (Alabouvette et al , ; Barnett et al , ; Conn et al , ; El‐Tarabily et al , ; Mavrodi et al , ; Araujo et al , ; ; Schlatter et al , ) with generally low impact on microbial communities of the roots and rhizosphere soils during the 3‐month period. Streptomyces was one of the most abundant and genetically diverse taxa in this study, and it is frequently described as an excellent biocontrol agent for multiple plants such as wheat, barley, cucumber, and potato (Prévost et al , ; El‐Tarabily et al ., ; Araujo et al , ).…”
