Antifungal rhizobacteria were obtained from maize, barley and chicory using direct or indirect isolation procedures. Effective isolates were tested for broad‐spectrum activity against a set of phytopathogenic fungi. Isolates with broad‐spectrum activity were identified as Pseudomonas fluorescens, P. cepacia, Serratia liquefaciens, S. plymuthica and Bacillus sp. Broad‐spectrum compounds produced by P. cepacia and Erwinia herbicola were characterized as pyrrolnitrin and herbicolin‐like compounds respectively.
