Abstract

Vegetative experiments showed that the population density of antiphytopathogenic bacillar species introduced into the rhizosphere of spring wheat seedlings essentially depended on the soil temperature and not on the soil moisture content. As a rule, the population of introduced bacilli increased with the temperature. Under both low and optimal soil moisture contents, introduced bacilli were efficiently acclimated in the wheat rhizosphere.
