ABSTRACT
Most studies of this type have observed interactions between a single saprotroph and a single plant pathogen; very few have looked at two or more saprotrophs in combination as antagonists. Members of the phyllosphere fungal community have been shown to coexist, however, but the functional role of the organisms as a community rather than as isolated individuals has not been adequately investigated (Fokkema, 1991; Bills, 1995).
