Tomato (Lycopersicumesculentum) is one of the important horticultural commodity unfortunately the production is still low in quantity or quality. One of the important problems for the low productivity is the bacterial wilt disease caused by Ralstonia solanacearum. Some control methods have been developed but the disease still caused damages. One alternative control which can be prospective to be developed is the use of biocontrol agents. Among them the endophytic bacteria and Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR). The experiment was conducted to evaluate the viability of biocontrol agents, i.e. S.epidermidis BC4 and P. fluorescens RH4003 in the formula during storage and 3 the effectiveness of biopesticides formulation to control the bacterial wilt disease on tomato. Biopesticides were applied to the root during transplanting. Disease incidence and the height of the plant were calculated every week. Population of the bacteria in the formula was calculated at 0, 2, 4, and 8 weeks during storage. P. fluorescens RH4003 in granule formula applied into the soil caused disease suppression index up to 46.15%, which significantly lower compared with control, while S. epidermidis BC4 in liquid formulation with pH 5 caused disease suppression index up to 57.69%. Formula containing both of the bacteria did not affect the height growth of tomato plant. Population of the bacteria in the formula grew well at pH 5, 6, 7 and it was stable until 8 weeks of storage.
