The Effect of Trichoderma harzianum on Honey Bee Survival

Abstract

Botrytis cinerea is a fungal pest of berry fruit that causes gray mold or fruit rot. Infection usually occurs in the flower, remains quiescent until the fruit matures, and then develops abundantly, causing fruit decay. One biological control agent of B. cinerea that is commercially available is the fungal antagonist, Trichoderma harzianum.
