Abstract:
A problem that limits the production of tomato crops worldwide and nationally is vascular wilting. The objectives of the present investigation were: to identify the causal agent of vascular wilt of tomato and find the race of Fusarium oxysporum to which it belongs, evaluate its pathogenicity and determine its biological control in vitro. Tomato stems were collected from the municipality of Parácuaro, Michoacán that showed symptoms of wilting, isolations were carried out in PDA culture medium to identify the pathogen. The determination of the physiological race of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici was carried out using varieties such as: El Rey, Patria, 4853, 387, 386 and Primus FL. For antagonism tests, five biological products were used, at doses of the product formulated from: Bacillus subtilis 0.625 mL, B. pumilus 1.5 mL, combination of: Bacillus subtilis + B. polymyxa + B. megaterium + Pseudomonas fluorescen + Trichoderma harzianum+ T. reesei+ T viride+ Gliocladium virens.0.25 g and two products based on Trichoderma harzianum at 0.12 g and 1g. A completely randomized experimental design was used with five treatments, five repetitions and an absolute control without fungicide. Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici as the causal agent of vascular wilting in Tomato, the race found was race 3 (R3). The products formulated based on T. harzianum present different degrees of antagonism against F. oxysporum f. sp lycopersici R3. T. harzianum is the major in vitro antagonist of F. oxysporum f. sp lycopersici R3.
