Objective: This study aimed to test fungal and bacterial bioagents as formula antagonists of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici under greenhouse conditions.
Methods: The fungal and bacterial formulations' shelf life under different temperatures as well as under growth chamber and greenhouse conditions, as well as their effects on biochemical alterations involved in the induction of plant defense against the causative pathogen were investigated.
Results: In-vitro antagonist screening of bacterial and fungal isolates on radial growth, reduction and inhibition percentages revealed that T. harzianum exhibited 45.6% of inhibition followed by B. pumilus with 36.7%. Among the fungal and bacterial bio-agents, the highest effect on disease incidence and efficiency against pathogenic fungus under greenhouse conditions was B. pumilus 27 and 69%, respectively followed by T. harzianum 33 and 62% when applied before pathogen inoculation. Under greenhouse conditions, the effects of bio-fungicides also affected defense enzymes like peroxidase and polyphenol oxidase. The shelf life of the wettable powder formulation of bio-agents under different temperature was very important factor and established that the most suitable temperature for long term storage is 25 ºC for both B. pumilus and T. harzianum.
Conclusion: Target application of disease control techniques in tomato plants demonstrated the efficacy of B. pumilus and T. harzianum in reducing Fusarium wilt. These results pave the way for the development of bio-agents that can replace fungicides in agriculture, offering a practical substitute.
