Article Synopsis
- A fungal pathogen causes serious brown rot disease in apples, leading to major economic losses in orchards and storage.
- Current control methods rely mainly on chemicals, prompting this study to investigate bacterial isolates from the apple tree rhizosphere as a natural alternative for biocontrol.
- Out of 72 isolates tested, eight showed significant ability to inhibit pathogen growth, with two strains demonstrating the highest enzyme production and effectiveness in reducing disease severity, suggesting a promising avenue for sustainable apple disease management.
