N2  - Fusarium solani Mart. and Rhizoctonia solani Kuhn. are among the most common pathogens causing damping off disease of cucurbits in Egypt. Grafting is a method for controlling number of soil borne pathogens. Tabark variety (Cucurbita pepo L.) on Pumpkin (Cucurbita maxima Duch.) as rootstock is strong and resistance to F. solani and R. solani while, Alexandria variety ( Cucurbita pepo L.) on Gourmet (Citrullus colocynthis L.) as rootstock is susceptible. On the other hand, grafting Alexandria on Pumpkin and Tabark on Gourmet rootstocks are moderate susceptible. The antagonistic effect of two Trichoderma species, i.e. T. harzianum Rifai., T. viride Harz. or Inixture of them and Bacillus subtilis were tested aganist F. solani and R. solani under artificial infestation in greenhouse and natural infection in field conditions for two successive seasons. In greenhouse experiment, mixture ofT. harizianum and T. viride, as soil treatments significantly reduced the pre- and postemergence damping off compared with control treatment
