H. Wigg) and curly dock (<em>Rumex crispus</em> L.)). The experiments included the following assessments of <em>Phragmites</em>-associated bacteria (<em>Pseudomonas</em> spp,  strains Sandy LB4 (<em>Pseudomonas fluorescens</em>) and West 9 (<em>Pseudomonas</em> sp.)): capacity for plant growth promotion (using <em>Poa annua</em> seeds),  <em>Poa annua</em> and <em>Phragmites australis</em> seed germination and seedling root architecture, disease protection (co-culture experiments with soil fungi), damping off disease control (with pathogen <em>Fusarium oxysporum</em>), and multiple competitor inhibition experiments (with <em>Taraxacum officionale</em> and <em>Rumex crispus</em> L.).
