Abstract
Four biocontrol agents, Bacillus subtills, Bacillus amyloliquefaciens, Pseudomonas synxantha and Brevibacterium otitidis were tested individually and/or in combined mixtures for suppression of Rhizoctonia solani on peanut. All tested bacteria moderately inhibited the growth of R. solani. B. amyloliquefaciens was the best for inhibiting growth. In a field experiment, combined mixture of the four tested bacteria completely suppressed incidence disease also combined mixtures of B.ainyloliquefaciens and Breyibacterium otitidis or Pseudomonas synxantha and Srevibacterium otitidis gave same result. Dehydrogenase and nitrogenase activities, root nodulation and peanut biomass yield were also determined. All tested strains increased plant parameters, however B. amynoliquefaciens and B. subtilis were the most effective.
