Under varied laboratory conditions, dry spore powder of Bacillus uniflagellatus failed to control Meloidogyne incognita, Alternaria solani, Erysiphe cichoracearum, Fusarium solani, Pythium ultimum, Rhizoctonia solani, and Verticillium albo-atrum when the spores were incorporated in the soil in which plants were grown. The bacterial powder did not markedly improve foliar development of corn or wheat grown under stress.
