Biological control of plant diseases (2017, background): “Those that show inhibition are assessed further although it should be stressed that in vitro inhibition is not always a successful indicator of a successful BCA as there are other mechanisms of disease suppression (stimulation of host growth; induction of host defence; occlusion of pathogen; competi”
Bacterial-Fungal Interactions: Hyphens between Agricultural, Clinical, Environmental, and Food Microbiologists (2011, background): “to exploit them for the biocontrol of pathogens (9, 17, 20, 35, 238, 247).”
Isolation of endophytic endospore-forming bacteria from Theobroma cacao as potential biological control agents of cacao diseases (2011, methodology): “Colonization of cacao leaves was determined at biweekly intervals following the methodology of Melnick et al. (2008).”
Bacterial Endophytes: Who and Where, and What are they doing there? (2013, unknown): “For example, Melnick et al. (2008) evaluated the ability of several Bacilli to colonize cacao plants and reduce the symptoms of black pod rot caused by Phytophthora capsici.”
