A newly isolated, moss rhizoid-associated <i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i> strain A7, demonstrated strong inhibition of <i>Fusarium oxysporum</i> f. sp. <i>ciceris</i> growth. An <i>in vitro</i> antimicrobial assay revealed A7 to suppress the growth of several fungal and bacterial plant pathogens by secreting secondary metabolites and by producing volatile compounds. In an <i>in vivo</i> pot experiment with Fusarium wilt infection in chickpea, the antagonist A7 exhibited a disease reduction by 77 ± 1.5%, and significantly reduced the disease incidence and severity indexes.
