Abstract: Fungal diseases are producing important damages to cultivated plants. The conventional way to reduce the pathogenic attack in plants is the use of chemical fungicides. However, high amounts of syntactical pesticides can contaminate food and feed yields with chemical residues. An environmental friendly method to exclude pesticide contamination is the use of biological control products, such as microbial based products. Beneficial strains of Bacillus are highly appreciated for biological control, as they are spore forming bacteria, easy to formulate and preserve. Bacillus strains can produce a wide range of metabolites that stimulate plant growth and, at the same time, reduce plant pathogens attack, either by suppressing fungal growth or inducing plants’ resistance to pathogens. The paper reviews this problem critically, highlighting some common features of the Bacillus beneficial strains, using an important amount of new literature material.
