Assessing the prospects of Streptomyces sp. RP1A-12 in managing groundnut stem rot disease caused by Sclerotium rolfsii Sacc

Abstract
Stem rot of groundnut caused by the soilborne pathogen Sclerotium rolfsii can cause significant yield losses. Biological control of stem rot using actinomycetes is a viable alternative to existing fungicidal management. Though actinomycetes are prolific antibiotic producers, reports pertaining to their use in groundnut disease management are limited. Here, actinomycetes were isolated from groundnut rhizospheric soils and screened for antagonism...
