Biotechnological control methods against pepper diseases in protected areas of the Republic Moldova

Abstract

The use of exometabolites of Streptomyces spp. (S), isolated from soil samples collected in the Central Part of Republic of Moldova, against fungal diseases showed anifungal and inhibitory infection effects in different degrees. In in vitro tests, S. sp. 33 and S. sp. 47 exometabolites showed an inhibitory effect on Alternaria solani and Fusarium oxysporum growth (50 and 60%, respectively) without the use of fungicidal products. Our results allows us to recommend the use of new biotechnological products in plant protection and food safety
