The bacterial and fungal antagonists provided 22-83% protection against downy mildew on zucchini leaves.
Trichoderma sp. Td22 emerged as the most effective agent, though its combination with others reduced effectiveness.
Protection declined over time, with 46-60% of leaves infected five weeks post-application.
Survival of biological agents on leaf surfaces was low, yet prior research suggests this may not hinder sustained control.
