Iron is a fundamental element for plants as well microorganisms and several pathogens, including Rhizoctonia solani, one of the main soil-borne pathogens tomato. This study demonstrated ability Aureobasidium pullulans strain L1 to produce siderophores how these molecules were, directly indirectly, connected its antagonistic activity iron bioavailability. By ICP-OES (Inductively Coupled Plasma—O...

Abstract Utilization of biocontrol agents is a sustainable approach to reduce plant diseases caused by fungal pathogens. In the present study, we tested effect candidate fungus Aureobasidium pullulans (De Bary) G. Armaud on strawberry under in vitro and vivo conditions control crown rot, root rot grey mould Phytophthora cactorum (Lebert Cohn) Botrytis cinerea Pers, respectively. A dual plate co...
