In a previous study, we screened the combination of the three bacterial strains—Bacillus subtilis AR12, Bacillus subtilis SM21, and Chryseobacterium sp. R89—(BBC), which can control mixed diseases, including Ralstonia wilt, Phytophthora blight, and Meloidogyne root-knot on bell pepper with high biocontrol efficacy and yield increase under greenhouse and field conditions. In this study, to achieve the best biocontrol agents for separately controlling Ralstonia wilt, Phytophthora blight and Meloidogyne root-knot by BBC, the biocontrol efficacy by BBC-related BCAs (AR12, SM21, R89, AR12 + SM21, AR12 + R89, SM21 + R89 and AR12 + SM21 + R89) were compared regarding all three single diseases and the mixed diseases, respectively. BBC achieved the highest biocontrol efficacy against all three single diseases and the mixed diseases (biocontrol efficacies of 92.46 %, 81.81 %, 86.49 % and 87.31 % against Ralstonia wilt, Phytophthora blight, Meloidogyne root-knot and the mixed diseases, respectively), which were significantly more than that attained by the three single strains and the two-strain combinations AR12 + SM21, AR12 + R89 and SM21 + R89. Although a biomass increase of 4.86–21.14 % was attained by BBC-related BCAs without BBC, BBC achieved a maximum biomass increase of 64.67 %.
