This study aimed at evaluating the ability of SL-44 to control  Rhizoctonia solani  and promote pepper  (Capsicum annuum)  growth. Strain SL-44 was isolated from plant rhizosphere and the pot experiment results indicated that the dry and fresh weights of pepper in SL-44 and  Rhizoctonia solani  (S-R) treatment were 45.5% and 54.2% higher than those in  Rhizoctonia solani  (R) treatment and 18.2% and 31.8% higher than those in CK (control, noninoculation) treatment. The plant height in S-R treatment increased by 14.2% and 9.0% compared with those in the R and CK treatments, respectively. In vitro antagonism assay showed that SL-44 exhibited strong antifungal activity against the mycelial growth of  Rhizoctonia solani , with an inhibition rate of 42.3%. The amount of phosphorus dissolved by SL-44 reached 60.58 mg·L −1  in broth and 7.5  μ g·mL −1  IAA were secreted by SL-44. Strain SL-44 inhibited the growth of  R. solani  and improved biomass of pepper plants. Mass exchange and information transmission between the pepper plants and SL-44 mutually promoted their development.  Bacillus subtilis  SL-44 has a great potential as biocontrol agent against  Rhizoctonia solani  on pepper plants.
