Suppression of Pythium ultimum root rot of sorghum by rhizobacterial isolates from Ethiopia and South Africa

2008-04-01

Abstract excerpt

Bacteria isolated from the rhizosphere of sorghum in Ethiopia and from different grass species within the Nylsvlei Nature Reserve in South Africa were evaluated for their in-vitro and in-vivo antagonistic activity against Pythium ultimum that causes root rot in sorghum. Root rot caused by this pathogen in sorghum is characterized by blackened discolorations with white mycelial growth on the surface of the roots. S...
