“…The growing interest in sustainable management of plant diseases caused by Psa, Xap and Xf has stimulated the search for novel BCA. While several bacteria, such as Pseudomonas and Xanthomonas , have been selected for studies thanks to their biocontrol activity against these pathogens, the studies in question only focused on a single pathogen (Biondi, Dallai, Brunelli, Bazzi, & Stefani, ; Henry, Gebben, Tech, Yip, & Leveau, ; Kawaguchi, Inoue, & Inoue, ; Wicaksono, Jones, Casonato, Monk, & Ridgway, ). In this present work, a multi‐disease approach was taken to select antagonistic bacteria with broad‐spectrum activity.…”
