Abstract :
A study on assay of potential of chitinolytic bacterial isolates to inhibit the growth of
Rhizoctonia solanicausal agent of damping-off on potato plants has been conducted in
Laboratory of Observation Pest and Disease, Medan Johor, UPT. Protection of Crops
and Holticulture 1 and Laboratory of Microbiology, Department of Biology, Faculty
of Mathematic and Natural Science ofSumatera Utara University, Medan. Two out of
six isolatesof chitinolytic bacteria showed to inhibitof R. solanigrowth. The most
effective isolates to inhibit the growth of R. solani was Enterobacter sp. BK15 and
Bacillus sp. BK13 inhibited the fungal growth with inhibition zone of 2.05 and 2.35
cm, respectively. These two isolates also showed to be able to reduce fungal infection
by 31.25% and 37.5%,respectively.
