Summary

These studies were conducted both in a modern glasshouse in Antalya and in aclimate room at Department of Plant Protection, Ege University in 2008.Effectiveness of two different application programs on root rot disease wereevaluated with compare to those ones in control group in situ in greenhouse andwith artificially infected medium in climate room. In both trials, cocopeat slabswere used as growing medium. In the result of both two trails; the first appliactionprogram [Mycorrhizal fungi + (HarpinEa + H2O2+Ag++)] had the highest efficacyfollowed with the second application program [Trichoderma virens GL-21+(HarpinEa+ H2O2+Ag++)] compared with untreatred ones. No phytotoxicitywere observed from any application programs on tomato plants. Eventough plantactivators, biological agents and disinfectants are not effective as much aschemicals, they are environmental friendly products with no residue risks and nonegative effects on non-target organisms. Therefore, it was concluded that theycould be used in the application programs as mixed with fungicides and/or asalternatives to the fungicides.
