Rice-Associated Rhizobacteria as a Source of Secondary Metabolites against .

Various diseases, including bacterial panicle blight (BPB) and sheath rot, threaten rice production. It has been established that () is the causative agent of the above mentioned pathologies. In the present study, antagonistic activity, growth promotion, and the metabolite profiles of two rhizobacteria, isolated in different paddy fields, were assessed against .
