Abstract Al-Chaabi, S., O. Koutifani, M. H. Safeih, S. Al-Arabi, L. Matrod and J. Asmar. 2010. Performance of Resistant Rootstocks for Controlling some Soil Borne Pathogenic Fungi and Root-Knot Nematodes in Tomato Grown Under Plastic Houses. Arab Journal for Plant Protection, 28: 48-61. Corky root disease and root-knot nematodes caused severe damage on tomato and pepper plants grown under plastic houses in Tartous governorate in Syria. During 2003-2005, the percentage of infested plastic houses with disease and nematodes were 56.8 and 70.9%, respectively. The averages of their spread were 4.6 and 52.5%, and their infection severity indexes were 1.2 and 3.0, respectively. The compatibility percentages (CPs) between some used rootstocks, such as: Eldorado, He-man, Beaufort and Vigomax and some common tomato cultivars, such as: Dima, Stella, Gironda, Amal and local landrace ranged between 84.4% and 100% by using one scion per plant, and between 35.4 and 66.7% by using two scions, whereas CPs of wild tomato rootstock with previous tomato cultivars ranged between 41.7 and 47.9%. The efficacies of cultivars grafted onto imported rootstocks against Meloidogyne arenaria, M. incognita and M. javanica under plastic house fluctuated between 70.9 and 100%, meanwhile the wild rootstock was susceptible. In general, the resistance of those rootstocks was decreased with scions number increase per one rootstock. The infection syndrome on check plants was absent, however, four seasons later the resistance of those rootstocks was broken, when they were cultivated in infested soil with M. hapla. Beaufort He-man and Vigomax rootstocks exhibited high level of resistance against corky root disease (100%) caused by Pyrenochaeta lycopersici, while their efficacies were decreased by using two scions per one rootstock plant instead of one. The Eldorado rootstock and grafted CVs. on it, and tomato landrace were moderately susceptible to the disease. Keywords: Fusarium oxysporum, Grafting, Lycopersicon esculentum, Meloidogyne spp, Pyrenochaeta lycopersici, resistant rootstocks.
