The world potato is facing major economic losses due to disease pressure and environmental concerns regarding pesticides use. This work aims at addressing these two issues by isolating indigenous bacteria that can be integrated into pest management strategies. More than 2,800 strains of -like and -like were isolated from several soils and substrates associated with potato agro-systems in Belgium. Screenings for antagonistic activities against the potato pathogens (BCCM-MUCL 5492), (ATCC 15713), (CRA-W10022) and (BCCM-MUCL 51929) were performed, allowing the selection of 52 spp. and eight spp. displaying growth inhibition of at least 50% under conditions, particularly against . All 60 bacterial isolates were identified based on 16S rRNA gene sequencing and further characterized for the production of potential bio-active secondary metabolites. The antagonistic activities displayed by the selected strains indicated that versatile metabolites can be produced by the strains. For instance, the detection of genes involved bacilysin biosynthesis was correlated with the strong antagonism of strains toward , whereas the production of both bio-surfactants and siderophores might explain the high antagonistic activities against late blight. Greenhouse assays with potato plants were performed with the most effective strains (seven spp. and four spp.) in order to evaluate their antagonistic effect against . Based on these results, four strains ( 17A-B3, 30B-B6, 43R-P1 and 44R-P8) were retained for further evaluation of their protection index against in a pilot field trial. Interestingly, 30B-B6 was shown to significantly decrease late blight severity throughout the crop season. Overall, this study showed that antagonistic indigenous soil bacteria can offer an alternative to the indiscriminate use of pesticide in potato agro-systems.
