Recenzje

`....the book is highly recommended as an up to date summary of rhizosphere research for colleagues and students in the field of agronomy and horticulture, plant ecology and soil microbiology....it should be stimulating reading for plant breeders as well.'
Plant Breeding 107:3, 1992
`In conclusion, the book is essential for every ecologist in need of knowledge of the rhizosphere and plant functioning.'
Vegetatio 103:4, 1992
` ... of special interest to plant pathologists. It provides a wealth of critical information and numerous literature references. ... the message of this book is to encourage research in this future-oriented field which hopefully will bring badly needed breakthroughts to further practical applications. The volume can be highly recommended for every scientist working in this field.'
