Abstract
Anthracnose caused by Collectotrichum acutatum is the most devastating disease of pepper plants in Korea. In this
study, we evaluated the effect of selected antagonistic bacteria on control of anthracnose and plant growth promotion of pepper
plants under field conditions. Four different bacterial isolates used in the current study were isolated from the pepper rhizosphere
(GJ01, GJ11) and tidal flat (LB01, LB14) in previous studies. Four bacterial isolates, together with a control strain (EXTN-1),
showed antifungal activity against
