A Corrigendum on
Fusarium verticillioides of maize plant: Potentials of propitious phytomicrobiome as biocontrol agents

In the published article, the reference Figueroa-López et al. (2016) was mistakenly cited in 10 Biocontrol agents, 10.2 Enterobacter, paragraph 1. The sentence previously said “The efficiency of rhizospheric Enterobacter in controlling F. verticilliodes has been confirmed (Figueroa-López et al., 2016).” The correct sentence appears below.
“The efficiency of rhizospheric Enterobacter in controlling F. verticilliodes especially when used with other bacteria such as B. amyloliquefaciens has been confirmed (Pereira et al., 2010).”
In the published article, the reference Figueroa-López et al. (2016) was mistakenly cited in 10 Biocontrol agents, 10.2 Enterobacter, paragraph 2. The sentence previously said “According to Figueroa-López (Figueroa-López et al., 2016), Enterobacter cloacae has been reported to be an excellent biocontrol agent against root colonization of this Fusarium species in maize (Hinton and Bacon, 1995).” The correct sentence appears below.
“According to Hinton and Bacon (1995), Enterobacter cloacae has been reported to be an excellent biocontrol agent against root colonization of this Fusarium species in maize.”
The authors apologize for these errors and state that this does not change the scientific conclusions of the article in any way.
