Popis: The efficiency of two biocontrol agents (Trichoderma harzianum NB and Bacillus subtilis NB) and two commercial biocides (Plant Guard and Rhizo-N) in controlling Fusarium root rot disease on some citrus rootstocks was evaluated under artificially infested soil in green house. Fusrium root rot on citrus rootstocks seedlings i.e. sour orange (SO), volkamer lime (VL), rangpur lime (RP) and cleopatra mandarin (CL) was successfully controlled by dipping the root system of such seedlings in water suspensions of each biological treatment i.e. Trichoderma harzianum (spore suspension 5×106 spore/ml), Bacillus subtilis (cell suspension 8×107 cell/ml), Plant Guard (3 g/l) and Rhizo-N (4 g/l), then transplanted into artificially infested soil with Fusarium solani and drenched with enough water suspension of such biological treatments. Plant Guard (3 g/l) and Rhizo-N (4 g/l) were highly effective treatments in decreasing infection and severity of the disease, Fusarium density in rhizosphere soil and colonizati...
