Summary: In two Michigan fields in 2011 and 2012, BAC03 (106 CFU ml-1, 1 L m-2) was applied as a drench into the root zone soil of potato four times at 2-week intervals starting at one month post planting. The BAC03 treatments significantly (P < 0.05) reduced the severity of potato common scab in all tests and had enhanced potato tuber weight in 2011 only (P < 0.05) at two locations.
