Efficacy of Bacillus spp. to biocontrol of anthracnose and enhance plant growth on Andean lupin seeds by lipopeptide production

•Infected Andean lupin seed is the main pathway for dissemination of the anthracnose.•Living cells and cell-free compounds from Bacillus have strong antifungal activity.•TLC-bioautography analysis showed the presence antifungal lipopeptides.•Bacillus treatments and cell free compounds reduced anthracnose to undetectable level.•Bacillus treatments increase chlorophyll and protein contents, enzymes activity on seedlings.
