| Abstract | Fusarium corm rot is the major destructive disease of Crocus sativus, a perennial herb whose stigma forms the commercially important spice “saffron”. In the present study we isolated a native Bacillus strain with antagonistic activity against a Fusarium oxysporum isolate causing the disease. Three fungi, Fusarium oxysporum, F. solani and Penicillium sp., were isolated from the corms showing classical symptoms of rot collected from saffron fields in the valley of Kashmir, India. The fungi were characterized using conidial morphology and molecular phylogeny. Among 400 bacterial isolates selected randomly from the rhizosphere and bulk soil of saffron fields, Bacillus amyloliquefaciens strain W2 was found effective against corm rot caused by F. oxysporum R1. Antagonistic activity of B. amyloliquefaciens W2 was confirmed in vitro using well diffusion and dual culture assay as well as in vivo by pot trials. The disease incidence in pot assays was 93 and 40 % in absence and presence of B. amyloliquefaciens W2 respectively. B. amyloliquefaciens W2 can be used as a potent biofungicide for corm rot diseases in C. sativus. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
