An antagonistic actinomycete for suppression of tobacco brown spot

摘要

We have identified a promising antagonistic micro-organism for suppressing brown spot disease. This isolate (strain 182-2) was found belonging to Streptomyces cacaoi. Strain 182-2 and its bacteria-free culture broth filtrate showed inhibitory effects both in vitro and in vivo, and is highly stable. Strain 182-2 has great potential to be developed as a commercial agent.
