description

The aim of conducted research was to determine influence of metabolites produced by Pseudomonas fluorescens on the growth of 4 phytopathogenic strains of Rhizoctonia solani marked R1, R2, R3 and R4 which infect sugar beetroot. The antagonistic properties were assessed with the culture-plate method on PDA medium for P. fluorescens cultured for 4, 6 8, 10 and 24 hours at 25 o C for 5 days. The fungistatic activity of P. fluorescens was determined against the growth rate index and the rate of mycelial growth inhibition. Obtained results prove, that Rhizoctonia spp. strains were both sensitive and resistant to metabolites produced by P. fluorescens. The highest inhibition of the linear growth of mycelium has been observed for R. solani R1 and R4 strains. In both cases the highest inhibition, reaching almost 60 %, has been recorded for the trials cultured for 4 hours and the lowest, amounting ca. 30 % after 24 hours of culturing. However, the other strains of R. solani marked R2 and R3 were resistant to the metabolites produced by P. fluorescens regardless of the length of culturing.
