Control of Verticillium Wilt Disease of Cotton Plants with the Application of a Bio-Organic Fertilizer and Its Microbiologecal Mechanism in Rhizosphere
Cotton Verticillium wilt, caused by soilborne pathogen of Verticillium dahliae Kleb. (V. dahliae), is one of the most prevalent diseases, which typically occurs in cotton fields with continuously cropping obstacles. Biological control has become the most important way in control of soil-borne plant diseases, and the use of antagonistic bacteria against Cotton Verticillium wilt is drawing more and more attention. In this study, two antagonistic strains (HJ5 and DF14) were isolated from the rhizosphere soil o...
