Abstract
ventional monocultural crop systems often supported by high inputs of pesticides and fertilizers to sustainable agriculture. Although precise definitions of sustainable agriculture vary, one key aspect is a reduction in agrichemical inputs with a corresponding shift to alternative crop protection strategies, such as cultural practices, organic amendments, resistant or tolerant crop varieties, and biological control. Biological control of plant diseases may be accomplished by several different means (Cook and Baker 1983), including the use of introduced microbial biological control agents. Because most plant diseases are caused by pathogenic microorganisms, using a microbial biological control agent to control a plant pathogen involves microbe-microbe interac-
