Abstract:
      A variety of mycotoxins secreted by Fusarium cause plant diseases, such as Fusarium wilt, Fusarium head blight, root rot, and ear rot, resulting in significant crop production losses. Chemical control is an important means to prevent and control Fusarium, but the sustainable development of agriculture is severely restricted due to the problems of Fusarium resistance and environmental pollution. The use of biological control agents in disease management provides an effective, safe, and sustainable means of controlling plant diseases caused by Fusarium, with far-reaching advantages over chemical control. The most widely used organisms in biocontrol agents are members of the genus Bacillus. These species provide plants with an effective regimen for controlling the invasion of infectious agents by a variety of mechanisms. As an excellent biocontrol agent, Bacillus species have been widely studied to antagonize Fusarium infections through niche competition, the production of antimicrobial substances, the induction of plant system resistance, and the development of a healthy rhizosphere microbiome, but these studies have rarely been reviewed. Therefore, this paper summarizes the mechanism whereby Bacillus antagonizes Fusarium from the above four aspects, and provides a reference for research into the prevention of Fusarium disease by Bacillus in agricultural production.
