The aim of this study is to identify fungal disease of tomato and treat the identified fungal diseases using bitter leaf (Vernonia amygdalina) and Moringa oleifera. The tomato varieties (red color) showing symptoms of rot were collected from Ozoro market in Isoko North Local Government Area respectively in Delta state Nigeria. The leaves of Moringa oleifera and Vernonia amygdalina (bitter leaf) were obtained from Ozoro and taken to the laboratory for analysis.
