The dual inoculation with Rhizobium sp. and cyanobacterial extracts enhances the
common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) responses to white rot disease caused by Sclerotinia
sclerotiorum
Abstract:In this study, laboratory and greenhouse experiments were conducted to investigate the suppression effect of two biocontrol agents caynobacterial (Spirulina sp., Nostoc linckia and Anabaena variabilis) extracts, along with Rhizobium leguminosarum biovar phaseoli, against Sclerotinia sclerotiorum in common bean plants. Four isolates of S. sclerotiorum were tested for pathogenicity in bean plants, and all isolated fungi proved to be pathogenic and caused white rot symptoms. Results of in vitro studies showed tha… Show more
