USE OF CHEMICAL DRESSING AND POST-CULTURE LIQUIDS OF ANTAGONISTIC BACTERIA IN THE PROTECTION OF RUNNER BEAN (Phaseolus coccineus L.)

The purpose of the paper was to establish the protective effect of Zaprawa Oxafun T (active substances: carboxin 37.5 % + tiuram 37.5 %) and post-culture liquids of Bacillus sp. Bf 155 and Pseudomonas sp. Psf 47 against soil-borne fungi pathogenic towards Phaseolus coccineus L. Pre-sowing seed dressing with a chemical preparation or a post-culture liquid of bacteria considerably improved the emergences, healthiness and yielding of bean plants. Despite the pre-sowing seed dressing, plants and seeds obtained after the harvest were infected by Alternaria alternata, Botrytis cinerea, Fusarium culmorum, Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. phaseoli, Fusarium solani, Phoma exigua, Pythium irregulare, Rhizoctonia solani and Sclerotinia sclerotiorum. The best protective effect against those plant pathogens was observed for the post-culture liquid of Pseudomonas sp. Psf 47.
