RESUMO

Experiments were designed to evaluate the usefulness of antifungal agents and streptomycin for recovering low densities of rhizobia inoculated into tropical soils. The results showed that yeast-mannitol agar (pH 6.0) containing 500 μg of streptomycin, 400 μg of cycloheximide and 50 μg of benomyl or chlorothalonil per ml was the best selective medium.
