Cover Story: Quality composts may be a noble source of beneficial microorganisms for agricultural applications. Antagonistic bacteria belonging to the Bacillus genus, are promising biological control agents can be proposed as biofungicides in replacement of the synthetic ones. Thanks to their thermotolerance, Bacillus are advantaged in colonizing composting biomasses, where temperatures higher than 60 °C, also could be reached. Essential oils carried by the aromatic plant residues, due to their antiseptic effect, may further condition the composition and structure of the native microbial communities in the composting piles. So, composted aromatic plant residues have been investigated in this work to source new biological control agents of soil-borne plant pathogens in a laboratory step-wise selection. View this paper
