Tomato plants are subject to several diseases during growing which reduce the quality and quantity or tomato fruits, particularly, damping - off and root rot diseases incited by several soil fungi. Fusarium solani was the most prevailing fungus followed by Rhizoctona solani. The two fungi were able to cause severe root rots, while Sclerotium rolfsii, pYfhium ultimum, Phytophrhora sp and F. oxysporum were less virulent. Study of antagonistic organisms proved that addition of Trichoderma koningii or Trichoderma glaucum at 2.5% before sowing with one week showed higher control of tomato root rots and increased plant survival, whereas adding filtrates of the antagonistic organisms at 50ml/kg soil diminished root disease of tomato. Under greenhouse conditions,
