Abstract

Two biological control practices are the use of suppressive growing media and the application of biological control agents (BCAs). The goals of this study were: (i) to screen 584 potential BCAs obtained from Fusarium wilt (FW) suppressive growing media; (ii) to evaluate in greenhouse conditions selected BCAs in three growing media with different degrees of suppressiveness of tomato FW. Two isolates selected after screening were identified as Fusarium solani (305) and Streptomyces sp. (A19). Results showed that tomato FW was reduced and total production was improved when both BCAs were applied to a conducive medium (coir fiber). In highly suppressive growing medium (grape marc compost), A19 and 305 inoculations did not improve suppressiveness. In moderately suppressive growing medium (cork compost), only A19 improved this compost to natural grape marc compost suppressiveness level. Therefore, compost suppressiveness of tomato FW depended on the nature of the compost and on the isolates applied.
