Abstract
Present study deals with the biocontrol of Fusarium wilt of chickpea using arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) Glomus hoi (Gh), Glomus fasciculatum (Gf) and Rhizobium leguminosorum Biovar. (Rl), which are the important members of rhizosphere and biological control agents, were examined on both the patho- system of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceris (Foc) and chickpea (Cicer arietinum). The colonization and nodulation of two biocontrol agents exhibited differences as a result of reciprocal interactions of these items as well as the effect of the Foc. Nodulation of Rl particularly decreased in triple inoculation. In addition, colonization of AMF significantly decreased in treatment of Foc+AMF than control, AMF. It was determined that single biological control agents inoculations were more effective than dual inoculations (AMF+Rl). When the morphological parameters of chickpea were considered, all of the morphological values were decreased in treatments which present Foc. Beside this all biological control agent increased total contents of P and N in treated plants compared to controls.
