Abstract
It has been shown that colonization of roots by introduced bacteria is determined not only by passive spread resulting from root growth, but also by active colonization of the root surface by motile bacteria. S uccessful introduction may by achieved by a combined selection of bact erial strains and plant species and cultivar. Competitive interactions in soil may significantly modify colonization kinetics of the root su rface.
