Control of sweet potato Fusarium wilt and black rot by endophytic Bacillus velezensis with improved lipopeptide production
This study presents optimized large scale culture conditions for the B. velezensis strain as well as excellent storage stability and suitability for long-term transport and on-farm use. The findings highlight the B. velezensis strain as a promising and sustainable biocontrol agent, offering a scalable, eco-friendly biocontrol solution for sweet potato fungal diseases.
