A synthetic 4-member rhizosphere consortium (C6) for biocontrol of Rhizoctonia solani in wheat. The consortium includes Janthinobacterium lividum BJ, Pseudomonas sp. P25, and two additional rhizosphere bacteria. Together, they provide effective suppression of R. solani AG8, a major soilborne pathogen causing root disease in wheat, through synergistic antimicrobial activity and plant growth promotion.
