Study the effect of mycorhizal fungi on tomato wilt disease caused by Fusarium oxysporum


Abstract in English

The effect mycorhizal fungi on tomato wilt disease caused by Fusarium oxysporum was studied. The results showed that % of disease incidence reduced in treatment whit mycorrhizal fungi . % of disease incidence reached to 33% when plants infected with mycorrhizae and Fusarium wilt compared to plants infected with Fusarium wilt just where% of disease incidence reached to 70% .The results showed a sighificant increased in plant height ,leaf number , fresh and dry matter of shoot and root in treated plants with mycorrhiza and Fusarium wilt compared whit treated plants with Fusarium wilt.The increase in plant height reached 24.13% ,16.93% in leaf number,36.13% in wet weight of shoot ,48.14 in wet weight of root,30.37% in dry weight of shoot and 29.18% in dry weight of root in treated plants with mycorrhiza and Fusarium wilt.
