Abstract | ||||
This study evaluated the efficacy of two commercial biocides, i.e. Bio-Zeid (Trichoderma album) and Bio-Arc (Bacillus megaterium) against Fusarium wilt disease of tomato caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici (FOL) and F. solani (FS). Application of these biocides as soil treatment significantly (P=0.05) reduced the percentage of the disease severity of tomato wilt caused by both pathogens under greenhouse conditions at growing seasons 2016 and 2017 when compared to the control treatment. Untreated and treated infected tomato plants (Super strain B cv.) with the tested products were subjected to study the alterations in gene expression usin | ||||
