Antifungal activity of endophytic actinomyetes against fusarium wilt (Fusarium oxysporum) of Banana trees (Musa acuminata)

In the present study the isolated endophytic actinomycete from the banana root and leaf tissues have been tested for their bioactivities and quantitative production of extracellular chitinase against phytopathogenic fungi Fusarium oxysporum that cause economically important disease in banana crop and to identify potent antagonistic strain.
