The necrotrophic fungal pathogen Fusarium culmorum causes crown rot disease (CR) in wheat. The experiments were designed to compare the effectiveness of Trichoderma harzianum and Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungus Glomus mossea on reduction of F. culmorum in wheat (cv Altay 2000) in pots tests in this research. Three weeks after sowing, percentage of diseased emerging seedlings were evaluated. In pot trials, Trichoderma harzianum, Glomus mosseae were initially evaluated for reducing disease on wheat cultivars Altay 2000 planted in sterilized soil artificially infested with the pathogen. Wheat plants growing from T. harzianum, and G. mosseae showed the average disease severity of 82.68% for 30-40% while plants from untreated soil had the disease severity of 75% and 98%, respectively Both of them gave also a good control in wheat cultivars. The ability of these isolates to affect the infection of wheat seedlings by F. culmorum may be of potential value in field trials
