Abstract

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of antagonistic bacteria and pathogenic fungi on growth and yields of white clover(Trifo1iurn repens L.) in continuous cropping soil(CCS) and non-continuous cropping soil(NCCS). The gowth experiment of white clover was conducted at pots in a vinyl house. White clover was established by seeding into pots of 12 cm in diameter and 9 cm in depth containing 1:l mixture of soil and vermiculite with antagonistic bacteria and pathogenic fungi. In dark culture experiment, white clover lived longer in treatment of antagonistic bacteria than in treatment of control, but lived shorter in CCS than in NCCS. Dry weight of white clover was increased by the inoculation of the antagonistic bacteria(p< 0.05), but decreased by the inoculation of the pathogenic fungi(p< 0.05) both CCS and NCCS. In conclusion, bacterization of white clover with antagonistic bacteria enhances the growth and yield of white clover.
