Abstract

The tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) is the second most important vegetable crop after the potato in the world. It is a hot season crop; it requires a warm and cool climate. The plant is strongly affected by unfavorable climatic conditions. The warm and cool climatic conditions offer an ideal condition for the development of many diseases of leaf plants, stems and soils. The main fungal diseases of the tomato are: Damping of seedlings, Downy mildew, Alternaria, Gray mold, Septriosis, Powdery mildew, Root and crown rot, Fusarium wilt, Verticillium wilt, Cladosporiosis, Corky root, Sclerotiniosis, Anthracnosis, Pink rot and Stemphyliosis. In our work wa have cited for each disease the main symptoms and their of control.

Introduction

Market gardening is considered a main food resource on a global scale. The current food situation in Morocco requires better management of the improvement of the agricultural production of large consumption of tomatoes, from an agronomic point of view these crops are easy and from a commercial point of view, they are very appreciated by the Moroccan populations. In Morocco, tomato cultivation ranks second among crops for export, which gives it great economic importance for the country. It comes among vegetable crops, first occupying an overall area of 15,239 ha, which gives the country a total production of 1,231,250 tons per year [45]. The tomato plays an important socio-economic role. Economically, tomato exports occupy an important place since they bring in nearly 1.1 billion Dirhams in foreign currency. On the social level, the sector generates jobs since it creates an average of 9 million working days per year, at the level of production but also packaging and processing [7].

Worldwide, tomato ranks second after potato in both production and consumption [81]. The consumption of tomato fruits contributes to a healthy and balanced diet. Fruits are rich in minerals, vitamins, essential amino acids, sugars and dietary fiber. Tomato contains a lot of vitamins B and C, iron and phosphorus [34]. Tomatoes are eaten fresh in salads or cooked in sauces, soups or meat or poison dishes. It is possible to process them into puree, juice and ketchup [92].

Several works have been carried out to identify the procession of tomato enemies and estimate the losses caused [6, 44, 2, 33,113, 8, 56, and 70]. Diseases associated with tomato cultivation can attack different plant organs (leaves, fruits or roots) and cause considerable damage to the harvest. Fungi, viruses and pathogenic bacteria lead to a significant reduction in the quality and yield of this culture [52]. Fungal diseases are contagious diseases and can spread from plant to plant in the field, often very quickly when environmental conditions are right. Some of the most common fungal diseases that infect tomatoes include Damping off, Downy mildew, Alternaria, Gray mold, Septriosis, Powdery mildew, Root and crown rot, Fusarium wilt, Verticillium wilt, Cladosporiosis, corky root, sclerotinia, anthracnose, pink rot and stemphyliosis.

Damping off: can appear from germination, as soon as the radicle has taken some development, and continues to threaten seedlings in various stages of development for one or two months, from spring to the end of June. The dangerous period corresponds above all to the phase during which the tissues of the stem and the root are not yet lignified. Usually the first symptom of the disease is the appearance near the surface of the soil, at the junction of the stem and the root, of a black spot which extends upwards, at this level the damaged tissues and softened lose their rigidity, the seedling bends, then sags on the ground, withers and dries up. Simultaneously, as the disease progresses downward, the roots become soft and rot. The evolution of the disease is rapid, the still very tenuous seedlings become, once dried, difficult to see: they "melt" in a way. Damping off can be caused by various fungi including Pythium spp., Rhizoctonia spp, Fusarium spp and Phytophthora spp [28,63,82].

Table 1: Integrated management of the main fungal diseases of tomato.

Mildew (Late Blight): caused by Phytophthora infestans, formerly classified as a fungus (Berkeley, 1846; de Bary, 1876). This disease can devastate tomato crops during cool, rainy periods. Mildew can attack all aerial organs of the plant. It manifests as necrotic, irregular, rapidly expanding spots surrounded by a livid margin. On the stems we see brown areas that can encircle them. Marbled brown mildewed fruits, irregularly bumpy on the surface[57]. The disease develops when nights are cool and crops are wet from rain. The risks are greatest at the end of the rainy season around May-June [57].

Early blight: the fungus responsible is Alternaria dauci f. sp. solani or Alternaria tomatophila. Early blight is a widespread disease in field tomatoes and sometimes in greenhouse tomatoes grown in soil and in artificial substrates. Alternaria solani also infects potato, eggplant and nightshade family weeds [110]. In greenhouse tomatoes, this disease affects older leaves, but it is also found on stems and ripening fruits [101]. The leaf spots are round, dark brown to black, about 1cm in diameter and are easily recognized by the concentric rings or zones (zone spots) they form. Rings may not appear on lesions at the edge of the leaf. On stems, twigs and peduncles, the lesions are black, enlarge, later lengthen and sometimes encircle them. On the fruit, the lesions first appear around a stalk, wound or crack, rapidly enlarge and form black, sunken, leathery patches. If the defoliation is significant, unprotected fruits may suffer sunscald [101].

Gray mold: caused by Botrytis cinerea, gray mold is a common disease in tomato crops under cover [30,42]. The symptoms observable on flowers, fruits, stems, leaves, generally result in rotting of the infected tissues, followed by the appearance of a gray felting due to a significant production of spores [41,112,18]. Botrytis cinerea can cause significant yield losses by weakening plants and destroying them [35].

Septoria leaf spot: This disease caused by Septoria hycopersici [88]. This pathogen manifests itself as small spots with angular outlines, pale in the centers, bordered by a brown line. Small black dots presented by pycnidia are found on their surface. Affected leaves first curl, then dry out and fall off, leading to severely hampered vegetation [85,77]. The disease is favored by rain, which disperses the germs of the fungus. It is especially important in the rainy season [43].

Oidium: caused by Leveillula taurica (Arnaud) and Oïdium neolycopersici (Pseudoidium neolycopersici) [23,11,96,32,26,78, 74,66], which causes spots on leaves quite characteristic of oidium [66]. These are powdery and white and rather cover the upper side of the tomato leaflets. The affected tissues become chlorotic, brown locally and eventually become necrotic. Comparable spots can be seen on the stem[31,108,95]. The fruits do not seem to be affected [18].

Fusarium wilt (Fusarium wilt): caused by Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. lycopersici [104]. This fungus only attacks certain cultivars. Plants infected with this soil fungus show leaf yellowing and wilting spreading from the base of the stem [19]. Initially, symptoms are only visible on a set.
