Fusarium wilt of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici is a recent dangerous disease in tomato growing areas. In this study, biocontrol agent Trichoderma was isolatedfrom tomato fields. The effect of Trichoderma isolates on resistance induction in tomato was evaluated in vitro and in vivo conditions. Results obtained showed that, in dual culture study all Trichoderma isolates inhibitory effect on growth of test fungus and were effective in controlling the growth of the pathogen. Disease incidence was reduced when Trichoderma isolates applied in combination with soil + seedling treatment. This result has important practical implications for biocontrol of tomato diseases under commercial conditions.
