RESUMO
White button mushrooms yield instability in artificial cultivation, often caused by crop diseases. The main disease is wet bubble disease. The appearance of its causative agent, M. perniciosa, may lead to total yield loss. The microbiocontrol of M. perniciosa is focused on casing soil antagonist use. Since no industrial producer strains of polyfunctional biologics have been used in previous studies, our research goal was to characterize the effect of B. subtilis B-10 and M-22 on a mycopathogen and reveal its control possibilities. The reason for B. subtilis B-10 and M-22 use in mycopathogen control has been revealed by interactions between producer strains and the studying of M. perniciosa. The suppression of M. perniciosa development by producer strains was established, indicating a prolonged B-10 and M-22 effect on the mycopathogen. High biological efficacy in both strains at the early stages of mycopathogen development upon introducing them into the wells and spraying was shown: B-10-50.9-99.6% and M-22-57.5-99.2%, respectively (p ≤ 0.05). Significant differences between producer strains were not revealed, although during the first day of exposure to developed M. perniciosa colonies, M-22 showed greater activity. The high efficiency of preventive treatment when producer strains completely suppressed mycoparasite development permits us to recommend them both for introducing when preparing casing for M. perniciosa control.
