Greenhouse evaluation of putative bacterial isolates
As shown in Table 1, both KA19 and SE were effective
(P 0.05) in reducing black rot lesions compared to the
untreated control in two independent trials involving either
a foliar spray or the combined seed soak and soil drench.
The combined (KA19 ? SE) treatment was comparatively
more effective than the single strains in the respective
application methods. The combined seed and soil application method was more effective than foliar spray in
