A large patch disease caused by Rhizoctonia solani AG2-2 (IV) is a serious problem in Korean lawngrass (Zoysia japonica) sites including golf courses and sports fields in Korea. Antagonistic microorganisms against R. solani AG2-2 (IV) were isolated from various forest and crop soil sources in Southern Korea. Among the 61 isolates, I-009, FRIN-001-1, and YPIN-022 strains showing dramatic inhibition of the mycelial growth of R. solani AG2-2 (IV) in the pairing culture were selected as the most potential antagonistic microorganisms for this study. Based on the 16s RNA sequence comparison, I-009 and FRIN-001-1 isolates were identified as Bacillus spp., while YPIN-022 isolate belongs to the genus Pseudomonas. The greater inhibition (clear) zone between two edges of the selected and pathogenic microbes ranged from 11 to 15 mm in three selections, but the others averaged to 7 mm out of 30 mm distance. In another antifungal test using culture filtrate, those three isolates represented a range of 51.7 to 63.5% suppression potential. The selected isolates also inhibited significantly the stem-segment colonization by R. solani AG2-2 (IV) in vivo test by 28.1%, 43.0%, and 23.7% when inoculated with I-009, FRIN-001-1, and YPIN-022, respectively. The highest antagonistic activity for the large patch disease was demonstrated by the isolate FRIN-001-1, which will be useful for developing a bio-pesticide against Rhizoctonia.
