Abstract

     This research aims to screening phylloplane bacteria from tomato leaves to control Stemphylium sp., a causal agent of gray leaf spot disease.  Forty six isolates were obtained including 40 isolates via leaf washing and 6 isolates via leaf printing technique.   All of isolates were tested in vitro for growth inhibitory effect against Stemphylium sp. on potato dextrose agar (PDA) using dual culture technique.  Among these phylloplane bacteria, 6 isolates demonstrated inhibitory effect against the growth of Stemphylium sp. with % inhibition in range of 47.43-58.36%.  Then, the six potent bacteria were tested for the efficacy to control gray leaf spot disease by detached leaf technique. The result showed that PDN15 was the most effective to reduce the lesion sizes by 78.50% as compared to non-bacteria treated.  Base on morphological and biochemical testing, PDN15 was identified as Bacillus sp. Keywords : Stemphylium sp., phylloplane, gray leaf spot  diseaseา
