The Effect of Kojic Acid, Chitosan, and Their Combinations with Bacillus Subtilis Strains on the Inducing Activity of Bacillus Subtilis Strains

This study examines the effects of kojic acid, chitosan, and their combinations with Bacillus subtilis strains on wheat resistance to dark brown spot. A concentration-dependent immunomodulatory effect of the acid on wheat resistance to Bipolaris sorokiniana was identified: B. subtilis VKM B-2604D and B. subtilis VKM B-2605D strains demonstrated high efficacy in protecting wheat from dark brown spot, reducing plant infestation by 50
