THE ROLE OF RHIZOSPHERE ANTAGONISTIC MICROORGANISMS IN LIMITING THE INFECTION OF UNDERGROUND PARTS OF SPRING WHEAT
Elżbieta Patkowska
ABSTRACT
The studies were conducted in 1998-2000 on an experimental field at Czesławice near Nałęczów. The field was sown with spring wheat, ‘Sigma’ cv. The purpose of the studies was to establish the species composition of fungi living on the underground parts of spring wheat, and to establish the quantity and quality composition of microorganisms developing in the rhizosphere of this plant. Besides, the studies established the effect of rhizosphere antagonistic bacteria and fungi on some pathogenic soil-borne fungi.
Key words: spring wheat, rhizosphere, pathogenic fungi, antagonistic microorganisms.
