ABSTRACT:One of the major diseases affecting camellia is Ciborinia camelliae, a fungus which causes brown spots or blotches in the flower and premature flower drop. There is not any control method completely efficient against this pathogen. Those previously described either have not been totally effective, or are arduous and difficult to apply by growers, or require the systematic use of chemical fungicides. In the last years, several biopesticides have been developed as an alternative to the use of chemicals for pest and disease control. These biological products are specific, environmental friendly and tend to reduce the development of pathogen resistance. The aim of the present work was to assess the in vitro effect of four biofungicides on mycelial growth and viability of Ciborinia camelliae sclerotia.
