Abstract
The rhizosphere competence on barley of the antagonist, Gliocladium roseum (isolate IK 726), was investigated in semi-sterile sand and field soil. Following application of the antagonist to the seeds it was shown by the dilution plating method, that G. roseum was present on the roots. In sand colonization occurred most on proximal compared to distal parts of the roots. In field soil, 4 month after sowing, G. roseum was recovered from roots of plants derived both from seed inoculated with G. roseum and non inoculated with the antagonist. However, the population of G. roseum was significantly higher on roots derived from inoculated seeds.
