lawn
Explanation:

The basic word you are looking for is 'lawn' or 'carpet'.

You could word your sentence something like this:

Isolates will be inoculated into Petri dishes using a glass spreader to obtain a lawn of growth.

It depends very much on the full context.

You could also talk about making spread plates or using the spread plate technique. Then you wouldn't necessarily have to mention the Petri dishes or the glass rod at all.
