Abstract:
Treatment of soybean seeds with Paecilomyces lilacinus, Trichodenna harzianum, Gliocladium virens, Bacillus subtilis, Rhizobium meliloti and Sreptomyces sp., showed significant reduction in infection of root by root infecting fungi on 30 and 60 day old plants. The effectiveness of microbial antagonists declined with time and after 90 days of gowth P. lilacinus and T. harzianum were effective against M. phaseolina, Streptomyces sp., against R solani whereas G. virens and B. subtilis were effective against both M. phaseolina and Fusarium
