ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a biocontrol formulation suitable for reducing the susceptibility of plants to fungal phytopathogens. In one aspect of the invention, a newly isolated strain of Streptomyces, Streptomyces YCED 9, is incorporated into a suitable delivery medium and applied to plant seeds or plant roots.
