eductions over 50% <strong>and</strong> significant reductions between 50% <strong>and</strong> 75%. “Poor control” includes<br />
results with less than 50% control. The number of trials (Y-axis) refers to studies conducted<br />
between 2000-2010.<br />
Soil <strong>and</strong> seed treatments with T. harzianum have been tested against a number of soil-borne<br />
pathogens, <strong>and</strong> foliar applications have been tested against late blight on potato <strong>and</strong> bacterial<br />
speck <strong>and</strong> gray mold on tomato with fair to poor results (Figure 1). <strong>Disease</strong>s <strong>for</strong> which fair<br />
