Abstract:
A method for preventing or treating microbial colonization in plants is provided. The method involves application of microorganisms such as Bacillus species or Pseudomonas species and a chitosanase inducer such as chitosan to the plants. Treatments may be made by treating the plants with a combination of the microorganism and chitosanase inducer or by sequential application of the microorganism and chitosanase inducer.
