Abstract
A pot experiment was carried to study the impact of the intercropping system i.e. tomato/tomato, tomato/maize, tomato/chilli and tomato/eggplant on interaction with Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici (Fol) and arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi. AM fungi root colonization of tomato was significantly affected by the intercropping system. AM fungi inoculated plants expressed increase biomass (26.72 g shoot fresh weight & 12.53 root fresh weight) of tomato compared to the untreated control (9.92 g root fresh weight & 3.64 g root fresh weight) treatment. The intercropping crops maize, chilli, eggplant, and tomato had no effect on disease incidence or disease severity; however, tomato significantly showed a negative effect on one plant/pot with regard to biomass and disease severity of Fol co-cultivated with tomato. The results of the bioprotection effects of AM fungi observed in the decrease of disease severity and/or damage of plant biomass does not depend on the AM fungi colonization but more on the intercropping crops.
