Discussion

In vitro and in vivo tests demonstrate antagonistic bacteria's efficacy against Fusarium in tomatoes, suggesting potential for biological control.

Antagonistic bacteria significantly inhibited Fusarium growth, and Alcaligenes sp. BSO2 was the most effective isolate.
Serratia sp. AW10 showed the highest ability to reduce seedling-off in tomato plants, promoting better seedling height.
In vitro testing involved dual culture tests to assess fungal growth inhibition, proving that biological controls can mitigate Fusarium.
Using bacterial solutions to treat seeds before planting can help combat seedling diseases, indicating a shift from chemical methods.

Suryanto et al. (2016) studied this question.
