DEVELOPING TECHNOLOGIES TO ENHANCE UTILITY OF B. SUBTILIS AGAINST WHEAT SCAB

Objective

Develop technologies to supplement and expand biological control potential of TrigoCor 1448, a proprietary isolate of B. subtilis, through the use of particle film technology by evaluating timing and number of applications needed to effect control in a mist chamber/greenhouse and following changes in population structure and metabolite production during grain development and at harvest to understand how TrigoCor 1448 populations and its metabolic state may act to inhibit the population status and growth of the fungus, Fusarium graminearum.
