Discussion

Observational analysis shows Bacillus spp. reduces Fusarium infection and improves alfalfa growth, highlighting the role of antimicrobial peptides.

Bacillus spp. effectively suppressed Fusarium infection, with reductions ranging from 2.86% to 31.43%.
Inoculation increased germination percentages from 42.85% to 85.71% in infected seeds, revealing strong growth promotion effects.
Six beneficial Bacillus spp. with antimicrobial peptide genes were identified, underscoring their potential as biocontrol agents in agriculture.
Bacillus safensis LA1NK1 demonstrated the highest efficacy in improving alfalfa yield affected by Fusarium wilt.

Buntić et al. (2025) studied this question.
