Fungal endophytes isolated from healthy tissues allium species: onion (allium cepa), garlic (allium sativum L.) and leek (alium porrum) were screened in vitro for antagonism against Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. cepae the causal pathogen of basal rot disease in onion., among the twenty nine isolates tested , three fungal isolates namely Chaetomium globosum , Stachybotrys chartarum and Trichothecium roseum were selected to study the antagonistic effect against Fusarium oxysporum. T. roseum was found to have the highest percentage of inhibition of mycelial growth of Fusarium oxysporum in vitro. (58.11%) followed by C. globosum (44 %) and S. chartarum (41.33%). The application of the tested powder formulation of fungi to infested soil two weeks before transplanting significantly reduced the incidence of basal rot on Giza 6 onion cultivars. The use of these bioagents in the form of powder formulations as soil treatment could be recommended for the control of basal rot in onion.
