Effect of temperature and soil moisture content on the colonization of the wheat rhizosphere by antipytopathogenic Bacillus Cohn

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