In the presence of pathogen, pepper plant survival rate treated
with BOF was significantly higher than control treatments (Table 4).
Comparing with the direct inoculation of antagonistic isolates, BOF,
combined appropriate OF with antagonistic isolates, have been
demonstrated to be more effective on controlling pepper Fusarium
wilt, because OF has the property of providing enough nutrients to
antagonists and protecting plant against pathogens (Fulton, 1927;
Claire et al., 1996; Khaliq et al., 2006).
