Fusarium wilt being caused by a major vascular pathogen of banana and it is difficult to control once it gets colonized. The present study was aimed at screening the potential endophytic bacteria against the Fusarium pathogen. The pathogen was first isolated from the diseased infected plant and morphologically and molecularly confirmed as Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. cubense (Foc) and its virulence confirmed. The culturable bacterial endophytes were isolated from the Foc-resistant banana cultivar ‘Yangambi km5’ and Foc-susceptible banana cultivar ‘Ney Poovan’.
