ABSTRACT
The bacterial infection in the agricultural field causes serious damages and loss of billions of dollars annually to farmers worldwide. Biopesticides are the better alternative to control bacterial pathogens. Bacterial pathogens such as Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae, Xanthomonas arboricola pv. pruni and Xanthomonas fragariae are isolated from kiwifruit, prunus and strawberry respectively. L. plantarum PM411 and TC92 inhibited all three bacterial pathogens from contaminating their consistent plant hosts. B. amyloliquefaciens and T. asperellum via foliar spray or growth medium application or both have the potential to control bacterial spots on tomato caused by Xanthomonas perforans.
