A method is for prevention and/or biological control of wilt caused by, by use of suitable bacteriophages. In addition a method uses the structural characterisation, genome sequence and activity of three specific lytic bacteriophages of. Podovirus presents an elevated stability between 4&#xb0; C. and 30&#xb0; C. in an aqueous medium in the absence of a host. As a result of the high level of stability, lytic activity, elevated specificity towardsand the absence of activity against the microbiota associated with the plants to be protected, bacteriophages are used for the biological control ofin river courses and irrigation water, as well as in a method for preventing and/or controlling the wilt produced by the bacteria, in which at least one of the bacteriophages, or combinations thereof, are delivered to the plants and/or the soil in the irrigation water.
