The authors discuss three examples of biological control of soil borne diseases. The first is the control of Fusarium wilt of sweet potato by cross-protection that involves a prior inoculation of nonpathogenic Fusarium oxysporum(Ogawa et ai., 1984)(1). The second is the control of Fusarium wilt of bottle gourd by mixed-cropping with associate crops(Kijima et al., 1986)(2). The third is the seed bulb bacterization for the control of root rot of edible lily(Hasegawa et al, 1990)(3).

After dipping into the suspension of the biocontrol agent, i.e, strain S-2, the seed bulbs were transplanted into the field that was infested with Cylindrocarpon destructans. Table IV shows the effect of bacterization on the yield of edible lily. The growth on the soil of the treated plants was obviously higher than the non-treated check. Yields of strain S-2 and S-7 bulbs treated by dipping were increased 167 and 145%, respectively. Strain S-2 was the most effective with an average bulb weight of 114.6 gm. 

The effect of pre-inoculation of seeds by cells of bacteria Bacillus subtilis (strains 26D and IIVM) was regarded on Secale cereale growth in conditions of the cadmium ions. It is shown that the bacterization of seeds...
