Bacterial control of plant diseases.
This article focuses on the effective biocontrol of plant diseases by microorganisms, which is attracting attention as an alternative to chemical control methods. As most research has so far been concentrated on fluorescent Pseudomonas species, the use of Bacillus species which has been considered to be less effective compared to that of pseudomonads, has been mainly introduced to demonstrate the effectiveness of the bacteria.
