| Abstract | ||
| The research was conducted on tomatoes to evaluate the effect of Salicylic acid (SA) , Trichoderma harzianum (T.h.), Alternaria solani (ASF and ASS isolates), filtrate and aqueous extract of Ginger treatment (Gr) on the disease severity of early blight in inoculated tomato plant by ASF and ASS isolates growing in hydroponics agriculture system. The chlorophyll in leaves was determined in inoculated and non-inoculated leaves (SPAD) , It was found that the SA and T.h. treatments increased the chlorophyll content to 44.86 and 43.68 SPAD respectively compared with 34.92 SPAD in ASS filtrate treatment , While the chlorophyll content decreased to 38.08 SPAD in inoculated plant by ASF compared with 43.17 SPAD in non-inoculated . The SA treatment reduced the disease severity to 2.08 , 4.86 and 9.72% after 7,14 and 28 days respectively , followed by T.h. 3.47,6.25 and 11.11% respectively then Gr treatment 12.50% after 28 days . In addition we found from the results that the disease severity was increased significantly in ASF which was 9.37, 13.54 and 34.36% respectively compared with 7.29, 11.46 and 26.04% respectively in ASS treatment. | ||
