Isolation, Characterization and Molecular Identification of Antagonistic Rhizobacteria against Rhizoctonia solani Causing Banded Leaf and Sheath Blight of Maize
Maize (Zea mays L.) is severely affected by banded leaf and sheath blight caused by Rhizoctonia solani, particularly under warm and humid agroecological conditions. The present study was conducted to isolate and characterize antagonistic plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria from maize rhizosphere soils of Eastern Uttar...
