- Title

- Abstract
In vitro, tests were conducted at 10°C and 5°C against sclerotia of Botrytis cinerea with 58 isolates of Trichoderma spp., highly antagonistic at 24°C but differing in their cold tolerance. Some isolates macerated and colonized sclerotia even at 5°C. With 19 isolates of Trichoderma spp. less than 10% of the sclerotia remained viable after 42 d at 5°C. Conidia of some Trichoderma spp. germinated at 5°C within a few days and reached germination rates higher than 80%. It seems to be feasible to use selected isolates of Trichoderma spp. for biological control of sclerotia of B. cinerea also during the colder season.
