strain Q2 is a kind of beneficial microbe originally separated from the rhizosphere of healthy cucumber. In this study, we evaluated the biocontrol potential of strain Q2 against four soil-borne diseases by plate confrontation culture, potting in the greenhouse. We further estimated the control efficacy of strain Q2 combined metam-sodium fumigation against wilt of bitter gourd in the field.
