or formulations with bacteria and yeasts. One of the strategies for enhancing biological control is combined application, such as Brevibacillus sp. Some examples of biological control resulting in significant inhibition of F. graminearum include the use of bacteria ( Bacillus subtilis and Lycobacter enzymogenes), yeasts (genera Rhodotorula, Sporobolomyces, and Cryptococcus), and filamentous fungi ( Trichoderma). However, parameters such as timing of application, inoculation technology, spore survival, formulation, and storage of biocontrol agents need to be evaluated. Microorganisms are naturally active in controlling pathogens on plant debris in the form of micoparasitism, antibiosis, or the production of volatile compounds that are inhibitory to the pathogen. The pathogen is controlled by aborting, curtailing, or delaying germination of its spores. Application to wheat plants during anthesis should prevent infection when conditions for the disease exist. The biocontrol agents may be effective both in reducing FHB incidence and severity as well as reducing DON levels.
