Interaction between powdery mildew spores of Leveillula taurica (Lev.) Arn. and the culture filtrates of biological control agents Trichoderma harizianum and T. viride against conidial spore germination was studied in vitro. For each biological control agent two media were tested viz., Potato Dextrose Broth (PDB) and Trichoderma specific medium (TSM). Maximum of 1.25 and 2% conidial spore germination of L. taurica was observed against culture filtrates of T. harizianum and 2.25 and 3% in T. viride on PDB and TSM, respectively. However, a maximum spore germination of 68.5 and 65.5% was observed in un inoculated PDB and TSM, respectively. Single distilled water considered as control recording 30.5% powdery mildew spore germination.
