ABSTRACT

Bacteria were isolated from corn plants and efficacy of a selected isolate for control of corn stalk rot caused by Fusarium graminearum was evaluated. The bacterial isolate provided the greatest suppression of F. graminearum in lab studies and reduced corn stalk rot significantly in 2013 and 2014 field experiments.
