ABSTRACT


No-tillage method with various
cover crops has become popular recently in vegetable production [3]. The aim
of a study conducted in 1998-2000 was evaluation of the effect of rye (Secale cereale L.)
as a cover crop on the health of roots and stem base of tomato cultivated in
the field. The rye decreased the number of Fusarium oxysporum and increased
the number of antagonistic fungi Trichoderma spp. and Penicillium spp.
on the roots and stem base of tomato. The numerical classification method [19,
22] applied to compare fungal communities from the roots and stem base
of tomato grown conventionally and in field with rye as cover crop showed that
similarity coefficient ranged from 10% to 82%.

Key words: cover crop, rye, tomato, Fusarium oxysporum, Fusarium spp.,.
