Fusarium
proliferatum which is a root rot
(collapsing) disease in pepper from Solanacae and it is causing losses in yield
in agricultural crops. The chemicals used for control are a problem due to
phytotoxicity, residues, environmental pollution and harmful effects on human
health. In recent years, the use of environmentally friendly preparations has
increased due to the development of environmental and human health awareness
and the search for alternatives to plant protection products that cause
residual problems in plant products. This study was carried out to determine antifungal
activities of 52 candidate bioagent bacterial strains and 2 fungal isolates
against F. proliferatum isolated from
conic pepper on Petri plate assay. Five
bacterial
and 2 fungal isolates that showed the
highest efficacy in in vitro were then tested in in vivo performed with 3 replications. It was observed that 3
bacterial strains and 2 fungal isolates are effective against F. proliferatum in in vivo conditions. As a result, it was determined that Bacillus
subtilis, Pseudomonas chlororaphis, Bacillus sp. and T. harzianum can be used as biological control agent for
control of F. proliferatum on peppers.
