Abstract

Plant growth which promotes rhizobacteria (PGPR) has a potential role in controlling root-knot disease. To reach the aim of this study, we used rhizobacteria replaced by chemicals to reduce this problem in Pistachio trees. Based on the previous studies, some strains with high ability were selected to reduce root knot severity. Three different formulations were prepared, using different carriers of materials named; wheat bran, dried apple and talc powder. we have used six individual strains of P. fluorescens and one combination of two strains (Vupf506+Vupf52). These formulations were tested to control M. incognita in Pistachio seedlings in the greenhouse condition. The wheat bran based treatments was effective in reducing disease by 32.7 to 88.9%. The bacteria survived longer in wheat bran-based and talc-based formulations than in dried apple-based formulation. The results of the study indicated that organic carriers can be efficiently used to improve the stability and efficiency of biocontrol-active microorganisms in controlling the Pistachio root-knot disease
