Abstract

The growth of tomato (Lycopersicoti esculentum Mill., var. Heinz 1350) plants was enhanced by low concentrations of both N,N-dimethyl-2,2-diphenylacetamide (diphenamid) and the filtrate from two fungal species Trichoderma viride (Tode) Harz and Aspergillus candidus Link. High concentrations of the filtrate from these fungi inhibited the growth of tomatoes, but this was overcome by the addition of diphenamid. Diphenamid also increased the growth of these two fungi.
