Some biofertilizers agents i.e. Rhizobium leguminosarum var. fabae, Bacillus megaterium var., phosphaticum and Trichoderma harizianum play important roles in enhancing the plant growth and controlling several diseases i. e. root rot and stem canker disease. In this work, under greenhouse conditions, Rhizoctonia solani caused dampingoff and death of all faba bean seedlings, however the three tested microorganisms resulted good biocontol role against the pathogenic fungus and the application of T. harizianum gave the best result in this trend. The treatment of T. harizianum and R. leguminosarum var. fabae to the soil infested with Rhizoctonia solani showed significant increase in leaves number of faba bean plants compared with the untreated plants or which treated plants or which treated with Bacillus megaterium var., phosphaticum after 40 days from planting. Application of T. harizianu.. View More»
