Damping off diseases are responsible for major production losses in agriculture and in the nursery forest in Algeria. The suppressive effects of four compost extracts were evaluated to suppress the damping off disease caused by Fusarium redolens and Pythium ultimum var. ultimumin in vitro and in vivo. In vitro tests showed that the mediums prepared from the composts extracts C2 and C3 inhibited significantly the growth mycelia with (74.07%, 61.11% and 85.18%, 81.14%) respectively for the isolate of F. resolens and inhibited the two isolates of P. ultimum var. ultimum with (68.51%, 62.92% and 75;92%, 72.22%) for the isolate U3CR and (77.77%, 66.66% and 83.33%, 70.37%) for the isolate U7CR. These medias had high percentage of inhibition of the sporulation of F. redolens at (df=3;f=23.01; p=0.000) for the isolate U3CR at (df=3; f=0.37; p=0.7774) and for the isolate U7CR at (df=3; f=5.31; p=0.0118). the results showed no significant differences in inhibition germination caused by the four composts extract of the four composts compared with (P<0.05). The in vivo test demonstrated that these composts protect significantly the Aleppo pine seedlings from damping-off by reducing disease incidence. The findings indicate the potential of these composts to protect plants against damping-off diseases, with a remarkable reduction in disease incidence by up to 50%.References
