Abstract: In seed germination tests some isolates of Bacillus spp. showed antagonistic effects against Pythium aphanidermatum and Rhizoctonia solani. In thoroughly infected soil, cucumber seeds reached a 40-60% rate of germination in the presence of the best antagonists. Protection to bean seeds was less effective; the germination rate was hardly better than 30%. The efficiency of antagonism reached by several isolates of Bacillus spp. appears to depend on their capacity to compete with other microorganisms or to produce antibiotic substances.
