  Eight isolates of Penicillium sp. and two isolates of Gliocladium spp. were tested in vitro and in vivo for their inhibitory effects against Botrytis cinerea, causal agent of tomato fruit grey mold. The biocontrol essays conducted in vitro revealed that the culture filtrates of the isolates tested have significantly reduced the mycelial growth of the pathogen. The filtrates of the isolate CH6 of Penicillium sp. applied at different concentrations (10, 15 and 20% v/v), was most effective in reducing B. cinerea colony diameter. The ethyl acetate and chloroform extracts of the isolates CH6 of Penicillium sp., Gc1 of G. catenulatum and Gv1 of G. virens have shown an inhibitory effect of the pathogen radial growth, at the concentrations used (1, 2.5 and 5% v/v). In addition to the reduction o.. View More»
