Recent trends in greenhouse container production suggest using ebb and flow irrigation for water conservation and pollution control. A major problem in this system is management of soil borne pathogens. Some species of  Trichoderma , a beneficial fungi, are known to control  Pythium  and  Phytopthora  in container production. This study investigates the potential of applying a  Trichoderma  conidial spore suspension in an ebb and flow irrigation system.  Trichoderma  conidia were collected from culture and placed in 101  l  stock solution tanks at 10 -2  and 10 -4  colony forming units (CFU) per ml. Six inch container grown  Dendranthema grandiflora  `Delano', were irrigated as needed. To determine  Trichoderma  density in the root environment, soil samples were acquired from the container at 7 day intervals. Results showed that initial population densities of 10 -4  CFU/ml were required to achieve adequate container populations to control disease after one irrigation. This study successfully demonstrated that  Trichoderma  could be dispersed through irrigation water into container plants in an ebb and flow system.
