The studies revealed that B. subtilis strain E1R-j expresses essential
features required for biocontrol of take-all, such as high antifungal
activity to Ggt, long-lasting effectiveness in controlling take-all in the field, endophytic action against Ggt in wheat roots
and beneficial effect on development of wheat plants. In further
studies it seems necessary to develop optimal seed coating methods
of strain E1R-j for biological control of take-all of wheat.
