The persistence and its wide host range often restrict the effectiveness of cultural and chemical control measures. Four antagonists<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">:<em> Bacillus megaterium</em>,<em> Enterobacter cloacae,</em></span><em> Pichia guillermondii </em>and <em>Candida ethanolica </em>were tested and found significantly antagonistic to <em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">R. solanacearum</em> in <em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">in vivo</em> conditions with unsterilized soils and hence possess potential to control BWD in tomato. <em><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Enterobacter cloacae,</span> Pichia guillermondii </em>and <em>Candida ethanolica</em> also increased growth and fruit yield compared to the control. Disease severity varied with antagonist and time of application; compared with the control, disease severity was reduced 41.6-77.1% when antagonists were applied one week prior to transplanting tomato seedlings. These results can be used as a potential tool to control BWD in tomato commercially as an eco-friendly manner and provide encouragement for continued research on biological control of bacterial wilt disease by antagonists. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 6pt 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0in; line-height: normal;"><strong><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: ";Book Antiqua";,";serif";;">Key words: </span></strong><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: ";Book Antiqua";,";serif";;">Antagonists, Bacterial wilt, Bio-control, <em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Ralstonia solanacearum</em>, Soil-borne pathogen, Systemic disease, Tomato<em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> </em></span></p><h1 style="text-justify: inter-ideograph; margin: 6pt 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-weight: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: 110%; font-family: ";Book Antiqua";,";serif";; letter-spacing: -0.3pt; font-variant: normal! important; mso-fareast-language: EN-SG; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-no-proof: no; mso-ansi-language: EN-SG;" lang="EN-SG">Mai Thanh Nguyen et al.
