Abstract Biocontrol potential of Rhizobium and Bradyrbizobium against soilborne root infecting fungi was tested. In vitro tests Rhizobium meliloti inhibited growth of Macrophomina phaseolina, Rhizoctonia solani and Fusarium solani while Bradyrhizobium japonicum inhibited M. phaseolina and R. solani producing zones of inhibition. In field R. meliloti, R. leguminosarum and B. japonicum used either as seed dressing or as soil drench reduced infection of M. phaseolina, R. solani and Fusarium spp., in both leguminous (soybean, mungbean) and non‐leguminous (sunflower and okra) plants.
