%X The effects of biofungicide formula containing the
biocontrol agent </span><i><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">Trichoderma harzianum</span></i><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> (Jn14) as wettable powder in
combination with the fungicides pyrimethanil and a mixture of cyprodinil and
flydioxonil on </span><i><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">Botrytis cinerea</span></i><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> of strawberry </span><i><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">in vitro</span></i><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">, </span><i><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">in
vivo</span></i><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> and in greenhouse were studied. The pathogen </span><i><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">B. cinerea</span></i><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> was
more affected </span><i><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">in vitro</span></i><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> by low concentrations of the fungicides tested
above 0.4 ¦Ìg&amp;middot;ml</span></span><sup><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">-</span></sup><sup><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">1</span></sup><span style=\"font-family:&quot;\"><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> than the bioagent </span><i><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">T. harzianum</span></i><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> (Jn14). The </span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">later was almost insensitive to pyrimethanil. In
the same direction, gray</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> mould disease severity on strawberry detached
leaves and whole plants was reduced up to 89% by the tested fungicides,
compared to the control, while the application of </span><i><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">T. harzianum</span></i><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> (Jn14)
alone reduced disease severity up to 45% on strawberry detached leaves,
compared to the control. In the integrated control approach, the combination of </span><i><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">T. harzianum</span></i><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> (Jn14) with higher concentrations of the tested fungicides
(ED</span><sub><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">50</span></sub><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">) completely inhibited strawberry gray mould disease severity
in pots and the greenhouse</span></span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;\"><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">.
