Biofertilizer Made from a Mixed Microbial Community Can Enhance the Suppression of Fusarium Wilt of Banana when Combined with Acid Soil Ameliorant

Fusarium wilt of banana is caused by the soil-borne pathogen Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. cubense (Foc). To increase the suppression activity, an improved mixed microbial community (a mixture of antagonists H-1, H-5, H-6, and H-7) was prepared for biofertilizer production, and underlying disease suppression mechanisms were determined. The results from pot experiments indicated that the biocontrol efficacies of organic acid soil ameliorant in combination with biofertilizer (OBIOs) and inorganic acid soil ameliorant in combination with biofertilizer (ABIOs) were 70.0
