Biocontrol potential of phylloplane bacterial antagonist against chilli anthracnose and powdery mildew disease

The studies on the nature of phylloplane microflora yielded two isolates each in Pseudomonas fluorescens (CPf1 and CPf2), Bacillu subtilis (CBs1 and CBs2) and Streptomyces roschi. (CSr1 and CSr2). The efficacy of the newly identified isolates in of P. fluorescens, B. subtilis and S. roschi was found to be very less when compared with existing stain Pf1 of P. fluorescens, Bs1 stain of B. subtilis and Sr1 stain of S. roschi. Based on the efficacy studies and antagonism, Pf1 of P. fluorescens, Bs1 stain of B. subtilis were selected for its efficacy
