Lycopersici, Rhizoctonia solani. Fusarium solani, and Pythium aphanidermatum the causal fungi of wilt and root rot to tomato and pepper plants. These biocontrol agents belong to Bacillus spp., Pseudomonas spp. as bacterial antagonists as well as Actinomyctes isolates, while fungal isolates belonged to Trichoderma spp., Gliocladium spp., Myrothecium spp., Paecilomyces spp. and Geotrichum spp. Among these antifungal antagonists Trichoderma harzianum. Gliocladium virens, Pseudomonas fluorescens. Bacillus subtilis and an Actinomycete sp. proved to have high potential effect against the tested pathogens UR - http://nile.enal.sci.eg/EALE/2002/JART/2802/1/9.pdf ER -
