Biocontrol stem-end rot disease agent, Alternaria alternata YZU, on pitaya by soil phosphate solubilizing bacteria

Biocontrol of stem end disease agent, Alternaria alternata YZU, on pitaya is more interested in altering the application of chemical pesticides. This study was conducted to characterize antagonistic phosphate solubilizing bacteria (PSB) from rhizosphere soil for their biocontrol activities against A. alternata YZU under laboratory and greenhouse conditions.
