ABSTRACT

The object of the studies conducted in the years 1998-2000 was the rhizosphere soil of soybean, Mazovia cultivar, and the non-rhizosphere soil. The experimental plot was set in Czesławice near Nałęczów on grey-brown podzolic soil formed from loesses, which was the second complex of soil suitability (good wheat complex). The microbiological analysis showed a much greater number of microorganisms in the rhizosphere soil than in the non-rhizosphere soil. The proportion of pathogenic fungi in the non-rhizosphere soil was almost twice as high in comparison to the rhizosphere, and it was 48.4% and 25.6%, respectively. The dominating pathogenic fungi were Fusarium spp., Rhizoctonia solani and Sclerotinia sclerotiorum. On the other hand, bacteria Bacillus spp. (81 isolates) and Pseudomonas spp. (231 isolates) as well as fungi Trichoderma spp. (64 isolates) were obtained among the microorganisms distinguished by their antagonistic effect towards phytopathoge

Key words: pathogenic fungi, antagonistic fungi, Bacillus spp., Pseudomonas spp..
