Abstract: The growth of wilt inducing bacteria, Pseudomonas solanacearum was inhibited by Frankia isolates from Casuarinaceae.The inhibitory activities of Frankia isolates Or9302 and 9021 were higher than the other Frankia isolates tested in this experiment.Extracts from nodules of Casurina spp.inhibited growth of P.solanacearum.The inhibitory activity of extracts from nodules of C.glauca was higher than those of C.junghuhniana and C.cunninghamiana.The results of nursery experiment showed that the seedlings with more nodules were higher in resistance to the bacterial wilt.
