Future studies could investigate the efficacy of biological control formulations against F. culmorum in field trials. Future research could explore the potential risks or unintended consequences of using biological control agents. Future studies could investigate the use of bacterial isolates as a sustainable approach to managing other soil-borne pathogens.
