was added. In order to attack with a club
root, resting spores were mixed with soil to give finedconcentration of 110 6 spores/ml. Dried soil was placed onthe plastic pot and the second leaf stage crop was placedon. The soil containing resting spores was added on thecrop. Ten ml of the fermentation broth was poured on thepot, and test crops were grown in a greenhouse at 25 (±5)oCfor 21 days. The fungal control was analyzed based on thefollowing index: 0=no clubs, 1=small galls formed on lateralroots, 2=galls formed on lateral roots or small galls formedon the main roots, and 3=many big galls formed on lateraland main roots. Since the control does not include anyfermentation broth, it should show the index 3 [4].
Among forty-eight actinomycetes screened, three strains
