(strain 2-villa margarita), trichoderma sp. (strain 1-colombia) and m. anisopliae (colombia) at concentration of 2 x 107 conidia/ ml of water), b. subtilis at rates of 0.335, 0.670, 1.005 and 1.340 g ai / ml of water + 36 g ai chlorothalonil /ha, benomyl 50 wp with doses of 250 g ai / ha and a control treatment were conducted. results revealed high differences (p ¡Ü 0.0003) between treatments; the treatment with lower severity was m. anisopliae, followed by b. subtilis with 1,340 g ai /ml of water + chlorothalonil at 36 g ai/ha with 11.87% and b. subtilis to 0,335 g ai /l of water + chlorothalonil at 36 g ai/ha, with 15.0%. the treatments affected to the greatest degree were b. subtilis with 0,670 g ai/l of water + chlorothalonil with 36 g ai/ha, trichoderma sp. (strain 2-villa margarita) and the control treatment with 26.2%, 22.25% and 21.85% of severity, respectively. the regression equation for the experiment y = 2502.91-13.021* sev, was significant and indicated losses of 13.02 kg for each percent increase of the disease. the marginal analysis revealed that the treatment with highest gain was m. anisopliae, recording a net profit of 28.34%. %K trichoderma %K metarrhizium %K bacillus subtilis. %U http://www.scielo.sa.cr/scielo.php?script=sci_abstract&pid=S1659-13212012000100002&lng=en&nrm=iso&tlng=en
