Trichoderma harzianum, Gliocladium virens, Pseudomonas fluorescens, Bacillus subtilis and Actinomycete isolate which proved to have substantial effect against the soil bornee pathogens causing wilt and root-rot diseases of tomato and pepper plants. Under greenhouse conditions results showed that, significant reduction in post-emergence damping-off and disease index of tomato plants caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici and Rhizoctonia solani were achieved by the application of the tested selected antagonists. Similar levels of protection of pepper plants against Fusarium solani, R. solani and Pythium aphanidermatum were achieved by the selected tested antagonists. However, T. harizianum and G. virens were the best antagonists among the tested bioagents.
