Abstract

TheBurkholderia sp. isolate 87-11 obtained from basidiospores ofLentinus lepideus was antagonistic against severalPythium andRhizoctonia isolates. The bacterium was tested against soilborne diseases of five plants caused byP. aphanidermatum andR. solani by soil and seed application, and its potential as a biocontrol agent is discussed.
