  <dc:description xml:lang="eng">Abstract: The objective of this research is to investigate the application of new
Bacillus spp. isolates from alkaline soil as potential biocontrol agents for the
management of wheat pest-wireworms (A. lineatus larvae), diseases caused by the
phytopathogenic fungi Fusarium spp., and their plant growth-promoting
potential. Among five new Bacillus spp. isolates, BHC 1.3 and BHC 1.5 showed
ability to suppress only mycelial growth of F. proliferatum. Insecticidal activity
resulting in a wireworm mortality rate of 17.24% after ten days of
experimentation was observed for BHC 1.5. The final percentage of seed
germination was in the range of 95% - 100% with the additional highest
production of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) by BHC 1.5. The results of this study
indicate that the new Bacillus spp. isolate may have the potential for formulating
microbial inoculants effective in promoting wheat plant growth and biocontrol of
soil-borne diseases and pests.</dc:description>
