Antagonistic rhizobacteria, more specifically fluorescent pseudomonads and certain species of Bacillus, are known to control of fungal root diseases of agronomic crops. In this study, 144 bacteria were isolated from cucumber rhizosphere and screened as potential biological control agents against Phy...
