| Abstract | ||||
| In vitro antagonism experiments were carried out to study the ability of five biocontrol agents (:Trichoderma harzianum, T. asperellum, T. hamatum, T. virenes and T. viride) and fourteen plant extracts for their effects on the growth of mycelia of R. solani AG-4. T. harzianum was recorded the maximum inhibitor of mycelial growth followed by T. asperellum with average of the inhibition growth 56.82 % and 54.48 %, respectively. Results showed also that significant antifungal activity was detected for the extracts of Cymbopogon proximus, and Ruta chalepensis.. These extracts were effective in inhibiting the mycelial growth of R. solani AG -4, (at amount/disc, 4 mg) with an average of 22.59and 21.48 respectively. Comparison studies of the inhibitory effects of piperitone, biocontrol agents and fungicide (Rizolex) on DSI, length (cm), fresh and dry weight (gm) of bean plants were also recoded. Treatments of piperitone in the presence of R. solani Ag-4 showed the best control of dry root rot and stem bean disease there are also reduction effect in disease severity with average 1.00,compared with inoculated bean plants with R. solani AG-4 alone with average 3.65. R. solani AG-4. In the presence of T. asperellumor T. harzianum or Fungicide (Rizolex) were also recorded reduction in disease severity with average of 2.41 and 1.66, 1.91, respectively. | ||||
