Abstract
The present study revealed that the use of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and the fungicide Benlate greatly suppressed Fusarium damping off and root rot of Tomato caused by Fusarium solani,Benlat showed high level of antagonism against F. solani and that caused significant reduce in mycelium growth 100% and spores germination 49.53% in laboratory . It was also showed that Benlate has no toxic effect to Ps. aeruginosa while it caused effective suppression to F.,solani where the percentage of mycelium growth inhibition was 100% at 150 mg/L active ingredient of Benlate ,The interaction between Ps. aeruginosa and Benlate caused high suppression to Tomato seedling infection with F.solani in addition to significant increase in plants growth features.
