Their nitrogen fixation capability in symbiotic association with rhizobia confers them a beneficial carryover effect in crop rotation. Nevertheless, important losses in pasture production are due to soilborne fungal pathogens (Altier 1996). The utilization of rhizospheric fluorescent pseudomonads as biocontrol agents is a feasible alternative to solve this problem. © 2002 Kluwer Academic Publishers. aBiocontrol Agent aForage Legume aRhizoctonia Solani1 aBAJSA, N.1 aQUAGLIOTTO, L.1 aFABIANO, E.1 aPÉREZ, C.1 aALTIER, N.1 aARIAS, A.
