Abstract
Although potato is an economically profitable crop, its cultivation in the Netherlands is limited to once every three years on the same soil, since diseases (e.g., caused by nematodes or pathogenic microorganisms) may occur in soil more frequently cropped to potato. Even in this rotation schedule, crops are reduced when compared to potato crops from soils cropped only once every six years. Presently, this crop reduction is often due to an increase in the population of harmful microorganisms (Schippers et al 1985, 1986). This crop reduction can be abolished by applying antagonistic Pseudomonas spp. to the seed-potatoes (Geels and Schippers 1983; Bakker et al, submitted for publication).
