All treatments were determined
by the randomized design of four replications. In the experiment
that the efficiency of B. subtilis B99-2 microcapsules was
compared to that of Thiram wettable powder, the spraying mixture
was diluted with water (450 L ha1) and applied three times (every
7 d) onto tomato stems and leaves during the seedling stage. In the
experiment that the efficiency of B. subtilis B99-2 microcapsules
was compared to that of Trichoderma wettable powder, the spraying
mixture was diluted with water (750 L ha1) and evenly
applied two times to the soil 1 d after sowing and 1 d after sprouting.
The experiment was repeated four times.
