Abstract | ||||
The effect of different concentrations of tested fungicides and/ or Trichoderma spp. were investigated against the main soil borne pathogens of maize and soybean such as: Fusarium spp. Rhizoctonia solani, Caphalosporium spp. and Macrophomina phaseli under laboratory, greenhouse and field conditions. Field experiments were carried out for two successive seasons. Results indicated that Homai 80 was the most effective fungicide followed by Ben late 50% and Vitavax thiram, while Monceren 25% was the least effective in all cases. T.viride was the most antagonistic fungus against the main pathogens under laboratory conditions. Soil treatment with Trichoderma spp. under ced greenhouse and/or field conditions led to a significant reduction in damping-on and increased the survival plants. | ||||
