Microbial imbalances and unevenness have enhanced multiplication of pathogens and proliferation of many soil borne diseases, which are tedious to control. Biocontrols are promising and environmentally friendly agents against such diseases. However, microbiome composition and land use management have been mentioned as core factors in effectiveness of biocontrols. These factors are shaped by management and land use types. The focus of this research was to determine the diversity and abundance of microbes in the tomato rhizosphere and its effect on severity and control of bacterial wilt disease. Tomatoes were grown in a screen house at Namulonge using unsterilized soils from cultivated, fallow and forest land use types. Four biocontrols were used namely; Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus amyloliquefaciens, Peanibacillus polymyxa and Stenotrophomonas rhizophila. A negative control and a positive control were included. Data were collected on plant growth and yield parameters, and bacterial wilt disease incidence. Rhizosphere microbiome data were obtained using amplicon sequencing. Results showed that B. subtilis and P. polymyxa increased plant height in all land use types. Biocontrols B. amyloliquefaciens and S.rhizophila produced most dry biomass in cultivated land use, B. amyloliquefaciens and P. polymyxa in fallow and P. polymyxa and B. subtilis in forest land use type. In cultivated land use, biocontrols B. amyloliquefaciens, B. subtilis and S. rhizophila reduced bacterial wilt incidence by 31 % and P. polymyxa by 28 %. Fallow land use type had the highest microbial diversity and forest land use had the highest microbial abundance. The major phyla were Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria and Acidobacteria in Forest, Fallow and cultivated land uses respectively. Bacillus and Paenibacillus bacteria were more abundant in cultivated while Stenotrophomonas bacteria were more abundant in forest land use type. 2019-12 2022-08-25T14:05:30Z 2022-08-25T14:05:30Z Thesis Nampamya, D.
