Abstract:

Fusarium wilt disease is considered one of important diseases on tomato plant. This diseaseis caused by the fungi Fusariumoxysporumf. sp. lycopersici (Fol), so the present research was conducted to study effect of arbuscularmycorrhiza (AM) (Funneliformismosseae, Dentiscutataerythropa, ,Dentiscutatanigra, Glomusambisporum, and Glomus sp.) in decreasing of fusarium wilt disease under greenhouse conditions. Tomato nurslings were infected with pathogenic fungi Fol afterinoculated it with AM. Infection Severity ratio was calculated, in addition to evaluate the following: length of infected region (colored region), the general length of plant, number of leaves and number and weight of fruits. Results showed that the inoculation with AM decreased each of infection severity ratio of studied disease, and length of colored infected region.The disease reduction was47.04% and46.13% in its severity andlength of infected region, respectively, whereas, this treatment led to significant increasing in the length of plant, number of leaves, and number and weight of fruits compared to infected plants (which infected withfusarium wilt disease without AM). This results showed the important role of mycorrhiza as biocontrol agents against fusarium wilt disease in tomato.

Keywords:
