The data obtained indicate that microbia1 plant pathogens of the Pseudomonas, Xaпthomonas and Erwinia genera show а high degree of virulence towards conifer seeds and seedlings only under certain ecological conditions, when the bacterial population оn the plant surface reaches 109-1010 CFU sm-2 and mоrе. As the number of bacteria is lower, they are cараblе to affect conifer seedlings increasing their immunity and decreasing the death of plants at the juvenile growth stages, thereby, promoting оnе to get viable and stable tree-planting material.

Plant immunity, phytopathogenic bacteria, stimulation of growth of coniferous species, forest nurseries.
