Degree of Disease Incidence in Tomato Plants After Treatment with Bacillus spp
Incidence of disease the screen house is quite different compared to the pattern of inhibition in vitro. Disease incidence varied from 18.75% in treatments with Bac C to 25% in treatments with Bac A and 37.5% in treatments with Bac P and Bac S. They were significantly different from the control which had 100% disease incidence though there was no occurrence of wilt on plants that were not infected with F. solani and that were in turn not treated. In summary, all four Bacillus spp were effective in reducing disease incidence and thus disease control.
