Biopesticides in horticulture – efficacy of Trichoderma harzianum to control Botrytis cinerea in horticultural crops

The overall objective of this project is to improve the efficacy of biopesticides, using a strain of Trichoderma harzianum as a model. This PhD project will involve both laboratory and field studies to determine what limits germination, growth & survival and therefore how to optimise efficacy of the biopesticide.
