The fungi species dwelling in the rhizosphere of crop plants, revealing functions that endeavor sustainability of the plants, are commonly referred to as ‘plant-growth-promoting fungi’ (PGPF). They are biotic inducers that provide benefits and carry out important functions in agricultural sustainability. The problem encountered in the agricultural system nowadays is how to meet population demand based on crop yield and protection without putting the environment and human and animal health at risk based on crop production. PGPF including Trichoderma spp., Gliocladium virens, Penicillium digitatum, Aspergillus flavus, Actinomucor elegans, Podospora bulbillosa, Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, etc., have proven their ecofriendly nature to ameliorate the production of crops by improving the growth of the shoots and roots of crop plants, the germination of seeds, the production of chlorophyll for photosynthesis, and the abundant production of crops. PGPF’s potential mode of action is as follows: the mineralization of the major and minor elements required to support plants’ growth and productivity. In addition, PGPF produce phytohormones, induced resistance, and defense-related enzymes to inhibit or eradicate the invasion of pathogenic microbes, in other words, to help the plants while encountering stress. This review portrays the potential of PGPF as an effective bioagent to facilitate and promote crop production, plant growth, resistance to disease invasion, and various abiotic stresses.

“…Several pathogens significantly impact tomato plant production, including Fusarium oxysporum, which causes Fusarium wilt disease leading to suboptimal results (Rojas et al, 2020;Abdel-Aziz et al, 2021;Khalil et al, 2021;Bahroun et al, 2021;Másmela-Mendoza and Moreno-Velandia, 2022). Furthermore, F. oxysporum can cause 70% to 90% damage in infected tomato plants and up to 50% production losses (Jamil et al, 2021). The fungus damages plant tissues by blocking water and nutrient transportation in plants, ultimately resulting in permanent wilting and death (Hadiwiyono et al, 2020;Patel et al, 2022).…”

“…Fusarium infection is difficult to control because it is soil-borne, lives deep within the host tissue, and survives for extended periods (Bakker et al, 2020;Jamil et al, 2021). The pathogen, F. oxysporum can survive in the form of conidia for years and the spores can rapidly disseminate over large areas, causing an epidemic in plants (Patel et al, 2022).…”

“…The use of synthetic fungicides causes environmental pollution, interference with non-target organisms and resistance of pathogens to fungicides (Devi et al, 2022). Farmers have traditionally used synthetic fungicides such as carbendazim and benomyl to inhibit fusarium wilt disease (Yadav et al, 2018;Jamil et al, 2021;Attia et al, 2022). However, long-term use of synthetic fungicides on agricultural land can disrupt the balance of the ecosystem (Gutomo, 2007;Dukare and Paul, 2021) and produce residues that harm the environment and other organisms (Soesanto et al, 2020;Mon et al, 2021).…”

Fusarium wilt is a plant disease caused by Fusarium oxysporum that generates significant economic loss to crops. A method to sustainably control F. oxysporum is utilizing biological agents, such as endophytic bacteria. Therefore, this study aimed to isolate endophytic bacteria from tomato plant tissue, which could inhibit the pathogen of wilt disease (F. oxysporum). Endophytic bacteria were isolated from local tomato plants in Muna Regency, Indonesia. Morphological characteristics such as size, shape, color and height of bacterial colonies were then determined by Gram staining using potassium hydroxide (KOH). Endophytic bacterial isolates were evaluated for their ability to inhibit F. oxysporum through inhibition and hydrogen cyanide (HCN) production tests. Subsequently, analysis of variance was used to determine whether endophytic bacteria inhibited F. oxysporum growth, and if there was a significant effect, Duncan's test was conducted at 95% significance. HCN production was observed through qualitative methods. The results showed that four endophytic bacteria isolates, namely LBR I A03, SWR II B04, SDM II B05 and SWR I A02 inhibited the growth of F. oxysporum by more than 50%. It also revealed that four endophytic bacterial isolates were strong HCN producers and two were weak producers. Therefore, isolates showing antifungal activity in this study can be used as biopesticide agents to induce plant resistance to F. oxysporum.
