Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are known to inhibit the growth of fungi and LAB cells or its can be used as biocontrol against plant pathogens. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of selected LAB strains isolated from rhizospheric soil against Fusarium spp. These fungi were isolated from...
