Isolation of the chitinolytic bacteria Xanthomonas maltophilia and Serratia marcescens as biological control agents for summer patch disease of the turfgrass
1995-11-01
Abstract excerpt
A mycelial baiting method was used to isolate chitinolytic bacteria from soils known to harbor Magnaporthe poae, the causal agent of summer patch on Kentucky bluegrass.
