Abstract

Bacillaceae capable of inhibiting the growth of Verticillium dahliae have been found to protect agricultural crops against verticillium wilt. In particular, by applying Bacillus polymyxa 9A to potato seed pieces prior to planting, verticillium wilt in the resulting potato plants is substantially prevented. Bacillus polymyxa 9A was deposited at the American Type Culture Collection on Dec. 27, 1983, and granted accession no. 39564.
