The leaf blight disease is a common threat to the growth and production of eucalyptus seedlings in Thailand. This work then aimed to apply a biocontrol approach to help plants survive the disease. Cylindrocladium quinqueseptatum KKU-H4-B12, a pathogen causing leaf blight disease, was isolated from t...
