Abstract:
Bacillus velezensis, a bacterium capable of inhibiting mycelial growth of root rot pathogens, was formulated in both pellet and suspension concentrate formulations. The suspension concentrate formulation was chosen for further test in controlling root rot of vegetables grown hydroponically. The preliminary results indicated that suspension concentrate, both with and without the bacterium was effective in controlling root rot disease. The number of bacterium in the formulation remained stable after being stored for 2 months, indicating that the process of formulation production and ingredients used to devise it had no deleterious effect to both viability and efficacy of the bacterium.
