Abstract

Abstract Phyllosphere epiphytic microorganisms of 15 Sri Lankan rice varieties were determined and 81 different recognizable taxonomic units of microbes were isolated. Three bacterial and 18 fungal isolates inhibited the growth of Magnaporthe grisea and Rizoctonia solani in vitro. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd
