Different alternative approaches of antagonistic bio-agents, Trichoderma harzianum, T. Viride, Bacillus subtilis, Pseudomonas flourescens and Saccharomyces cerevisiae and plant resistance inducers, Calcium chloride, Potassium monohydrogen phosphate, Potassium bicarbonate, Saccharin, Ascorbic acid, Chitosan and Humic & Folic acid (mixture) in addition to thyme oil were applied as plant spray to evaluate their efficacy against vegetables foliar diseases incidence was carried under open greenhouse conditions.
The recorded foliar diseases, i.e. Powdery, Downy mildews of Cucumber, Cantaloupe and Pepper as well as Early, Late blights of Tomato were significantly reduced at all treatments either alone or in combinations comparing with untreated plants. Application with either T. harzianum or B. subtilis showed significant reduction in diseases incidence comparing with the other a.. View More»
