Biocontrol mechanism of fungal pathogen through P. fluorescens ATCC 9028

Abstract

Biological control of plant pathogen by microorganism has been considered more natural and environmentally acceptable alternative to the existing chemical methods^[1]. Biological control has been developed as an alternative to synthetic fungicide treatment and considerable success had been achieved upon utilizing antagonistic microorganism to control both pre harvested and post harvested diseases^[2]. A variety of microbial antagonistic has ability to control several pathogens of various fruit and vegetables^[3].
