Abstract
An experiment was conducted on the causes of drying and death of the Ficus trees in three locations in Baghdad (Palastine street, Zaiyuna and Al-ghadieer). The isolation from wilted trees resulted in specifying of Pythium aphanidermatum (Edson.)Fitzp., and Fusarium solani (Mart.) Sacc. The pathogen Pythium aphanidermatum showed high pathogenicity with differences between locations. Trichoderma harzianum Rifai., and Paecilomyces lilcianus (Thom) Samson,. appeared efficient antagonism against both pathogens particularlyF.solani (1.6 and 2), respectively.
