The root rot disease complex of Meloidogyne hapla Chitwood, 1949 (Nemata: Meloidogynidae) and Rhizoctonia solani Kühn was investigated in 2021 under controlled conditions with different applications on tomato. Three week-old seedlings (cv. Alberty F1) were inoculated M. and/or R. according to priority the applications. After sixty days, parameters plant height, wet weight, numbers gall egg masses, severity, second stage juvenile density soil recorded. growth more adversely affected plants 2 weeks after application, whereas number galls masses roots negatively only inoculation application. severity application (44.7%) simultaneous (33.6%) found be higher than (21.6%) (22.9%). In this study, it that infestation tomato increased caused by solani.
