hree antagonists, i.e. Pseudomonas fluorescens, Bacillus subtilis and Serratia spp., were tested either alone or as a mixture for suppression of onion neck rot and black mould diseases under field conditions. Samples were taken for determination of total phenols, cartenoides and flavonoids. The average of disease reduction was 18.75 % for mixture compared to 47.0% in the non-treated control. In addition to disease suppression, treatment with a mixture of the antagonists promoted plant growth in terms of increased bulb yield. The mixture of the tested bioagents was more effective in reducing the disease and promoting both plant growth and bulb yield compared with using each of them alone. The result indicated the biocontrol efficacy and storage stabilities were not increased with the enhancement of the concentration of biocontrol agents. Treatment the onion bulb with the bioagents increased cartenoides in mixture treatment and the fungicide Folucolon compared with the control and another tested treatment. Treatment onion bulb with any of the tested bioagents or their mixture decreased total phenols compared with the fungicide Folucolon and control in the two concentrations (10 8 CFU/ml and10 9 CFU/ml). On the other hand, they also increased flavonoids compared with control and the fungicide Folucolon in the two concentrations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
