Abstract/Contents: | "A procedure was developed to identify bacteria suppressive to cottony blight (CB) of turfgrass caused by Pythium spp. Bacteria isolated from the rhizosphere of Triticum sativum were predominantly of the genus Pseudomonas. Each of 25 isolates displaying antagonism of Pythium growth on culture medium were assayed for suppressiveness to CB. Bacterial isolates with rifampicin insensitivity were suspended in 10 -3 mM MgSO4 and sprayed onto grass previously inoculated with a single P. spp. Disease development and epiphytic colonizaion were measured to determine the suppressiveness of the bacteria. The level of in vitro antagonism by a single bacterial isolate varied among the P. spp.: the level of in vitro antagonism on a single P. sp. varied greatly among bacterial isolates. Most antagonistic bacteria failed to suppress disease development. Several isolates reduced disease development by 25% compared to treatments lacking bacteria." |
