Soybean (Glycine max) covers more than 12 lakh hectares in Madhya Pradesh as per 'Agricultural Statistics', Directorate of Agriculture, M.P. 1985. Among the several diseases of soybean, the two soil borne pathogens Rhizoctonia bataticola and Sclerotium rolfsii cause pre- and post emergence losses upto 40% (Jharia and Khare, 1986). The soil being a complex store house of different micro-organisms, influences germinating seeds in one way or other. In the present investigations, the spermosphere microflora on and around the germinating seed was examined for their antagonistic effect on these two important soil borne pathogens.
