AB  - Tomatoes encounter many pathogens, such as fungi and bacteria, which reduce the yield and
quality of plants and lead to large losses in production. The application of plant protection products
(PPPs) is still an important and most effective measure to control plant diseases. However, the use of chemicals in agriculture contributes to environmental pollution and biodiversity loss, and it can also threaten non-target living organisms. Biological control is a widely accessible, environmentally safe, and cost-efficient alternative for the prevention and suppression of plant diseases. Bacillus species with antimicrobial and plant growth-promoting effects are most frequently used as biocontrol agents to increase the resilience of agricultural production against biotic stresses. The present review discusses the antagonistic mechanisms and the biocontrol potential of Bacillus spp. against tomato diseases caused by different pathogens. The main mechanisms of Bacillus spp. include the production of antimicrobial compounds (antibiotics, extracellular enzymes, siderophores, and volatile compounds), competition for nutrients and space, and induced systemic resistance (ISR). Although Bacillus-based PPPs have been developed and commercialised worldwide for various crops and pathogens, the efficiency issues are still subject to debate. Additionally, a combined strategy for controlling tomato diseases based on Bacillus spp. and other available methods (conventional or natural-based) is a promising research field.

AB  - Seed infection caused by Fusarium spp. is one of the major threats to the seed quality and
yield of agricultural crops, including garden peas. The use of Bacillus spp. with multiple antagonistic
and plant growth-promoting (PGP) abilities represents a potential disease control strategy. This
study was performed to evaluate the biocontrol potential of new Bacillus spp. rhizosphere isolates
against two Fusarium strains affecting garden peas. Six Bacillus isolates identified by 16S rDNA sequencing as B. velezensis (B42), B. subtilis (B43), B. mojavensis (B44, B46), B. amyloliquefaciens (B50),
and B. halotolerans (B66) showed the highest in vitro inhibition of F. proliferatum PS1 and F. equiseti
PS18 growth (over 40%). The selected Bacillus isolates possessed biosynthetic genes for endoglucanase (B42, B43, B50), surfactin (B43, B44, B46), fengycin (B44, B46), bacillomycin D (B42, B50), and
iturin (B42), and were able to produce indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), siderophores, and cellulase. Two
isolates, B. subtilis B43 and B. amyloliquefaciens B50, had the highest effect on final germination, shoot
length, root length, shoot dry weight, root dry weight, and seedling vigor index of garden peas as
compared to the control. Their individual or combined application reduced seed infection and increased seed germination in the presence of F. proliferatum PS1 and F. equiseti PS18, both after seed
inoculation and seed bio-priming. The most promising results were obtained in the cases of the
bacterial consortium, seed bio-priming, and the more pathogenic strain PS18. The novel Bacillus
isolates may be potential biocontrol agents intended for the management of Fusarium seed-borne
diseases.
