Abstrakt:	Selective isolation from soil of mycoparasites of Sclerotinia minor by baiting with mature cultures of the pathogen was compared with the use of a semi-selective, antibiotic-containing medium. Baiting was useful for selectively isolating and determining the concentration in soil of a potential biocontrol agent such as Trichoderma virens. The method proved to be useful for enumerating T: virens on roots of sunflower and showed promise for studies of the ecology of biocontrol agents added to soil or seed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
