Smp. Deassis et al., RHIZOBACTERIA INFLUENCING RADISH GROWTH A ND BIOLOGICAL-CONTROL OF BLACK ROT AND ANTHRACNOSE, Arquivos de biologia e tecnologia, 38(3), 1995, pp. 843-850
The potential of rhizobacteria to control black rot and anthracnose of
radish, caused respectively by Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris
(Xcc) and Colletotrichum gloeosporioides (Cgl). was studied in held co
nditions. It was also studied the effect of those rhizobacteria on the
growth of seedings, under greenhouse condictions. In the, first and s
econd experiments seeds were bacterized, treated with kasugamycin or b
enomyl (chemical checks), or untreated. SDR2 and BS isolates were more
efficient against Xcc and similar to kasugamycin. JA2 and BS isolates
were better against Cgl and similar to benomyl. In relation to germin
ation, there was no significant difference among most of the rhizobact
eria, fungicides and checks The isolate C21 inhibited the germination
sad growth of seedlings with significant difference only for the first
parameter. BJ22, JA2 and P2 promoted better seedling growth, however
without significant difference for seedling dry weight.
