Ii. Novikova et al., NEW BIOPREPARATIONS CREATED ON TO BASIS O F MICROBIAL STRAINS - ANTAGONISTS TO THE CUCUMBER ROOT-ROT PATHOGENS, Mikologia i fitopatologia, 29(5-6), 1995, pp. 46-53
Following parameters of the application of the mixture of alirin B and
alirin S were studied in greenhouse experiments: severity of cucumber
root rots; development of the treated plants; structure of soil micro
bial associations. The essential diminishing of the disease severity o
f the treated plants has been demonstrated for two years. Besides, the
treatment of plants with the mixture of biopreparations stimulated pl
ant development and resulted in the yield increasing (up to 100%). The
application of biopreparations shifted the ratio between antagonistic
and phytopathogenic microbes in soil and led to the increasing of ant
agonistic species.
