ABSTRACT



Fungal communities from the rhizosphere of tomato grown conventionally and in rye mulch were analyzed in 1998-2000. Their compositions depended on the type of cultivation and development phase of plant. The frequency of Fusarium equiseti, Aureobasidium pullulans, Talaromyces flavus and Penicillium spp. was higher in the soil amended with rye. Trichoderma spp. populations were similar in both environments but more numerous in August than in June. Rye mulch significantly affected the number of Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. lycopersici. The number of its isolates observed in the soil with cover crop was significantly lower than in control field.

Key words: cover crop, rye, tomato, soil-borne fungi, Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. lycopersici.
