  Potassium sorbate (PS), potassium bicarbonate (PB) and dipotassium hydrogen phosphate (DPHP) were assessed for their antifungal activity against Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici (FOL), F. oxysporum f. sp. radicis-lycopersici (FORL), F. solani, Verticillium dahliae (VD), Rhizoctonia solani, Colletotrichum coccodes, Pythium aphanidermatum, Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, Botrytis cinerea and Alternaria solani. They were screened for their ability to suppress Verticillium and Fusarium wilts, and Fusarium Crown and Root Rot (FCRR), for their effects on tomato growth, and for their potential control of Botrytis, Alternaria, Rhizoctonia and Anthracnose fruit rots. PS (0.25-1.5%), DPHP (0.1-0.6 M) and PB (0.1-0.6 M) inhibited fungal growth in a concentration-dependent manner, with the greatest inhibition achieved using the highest concentrations.
