Abstract
A bacterial inoculant is disclosed for controlling root rot in peas caused by Aphanomyces fungus. The inoculum is obtained from general bacterial strains including strains of Pseudomonas cepacia, Pseudomonas fluorescens, Corynebacterium flaccumfaciens, and two other Bacillus strains of uncertain taxonomy.
Claims19
A process for controlling Aphanomyces fungal diseases of plants comprising inoculating the plants with an Aphanomyces disease-controlling effective amount of an essentially biologically pure culture of a bacterial strain selected from the group consisting of Pseudomonas cepacia AMMA (ATCC Accession No. 52796), Pseudomonas cepacia AMMD (ATCC Accession No. 53795) and mixtures thereof.
A process for controlling Aphanomyces fungal diseases of plants comprising inoculating the plants with an Aphanomyces disease-controlling effective amount of an essentially biologically pure culture of Pseudomonas fluorescens PRA25 of the strain Accession No. 53794.
A process for increasing germination, decreasing mortality and increasing yield of a pea plant comprising inoculating the pea plant with a growth promotional effective amount of an essentially biologically pure culture of a bacterial strain selected from the group consisting of Pseudomonas cepacia AMMA (ATCC Accession No. 53796), Pseudomonas cepacia AMMD (ATCC Accession No. 53795), Pseudomonas fluorescens PRA25 (ATCC Accession No. 53794), and combinations thereof.
An agriculturally useful composition comprising a peak seed inoculated with an inoculant of a culture of a Pseudomonas cepacia strain selected from the group consisting of AMMA (ATCC Accession No. 53796) and AMMD (ATCC Accession No. 53795).

A biologically pure culture of Bacillus strain AM (ATCC Accession No. 53933).
A biologically pure culture of Bacillus strain CRK419 (ATCC Accession No. 53935).
A biological inoculant for plants comprising an essentially biologically pure culture of bacteria selected from the group consisting of Pseudomonas cepacia AMMA (ATCC Accession No. 53796), Pseudomonas cepacia AMMD (ATCC Accession No. 53795), Pseudomonas Fluorescens PRA25 (ATCC Accession No. 53794), Corynebacterium flaccumfacients 5A (ATCC Accession No. 53934), Bacillus strain AM (ATCC Accession No. 53933), Bacillus strain CRK419 (ATCC Accession No. 53935), and combinations thereof.
