In 1997 and 1998 the efficacy of honeybees in vectoring Trichoderma harzianum to strawberry flowers and the activity against Botrytis cinerea of two application methods of such antagonist were tested. The results showed that the antagonist delivering system by the honeybees is efficient, with very high numbers of propagules of T. harzianum being detected on honeybee bodies and on strawberry flowers. However, T. harzianum was more effective in controlling grey mould when distributed as water suspension, while when vectored by the honeybees it provided significant rot control only during the storage of fruits after harvest. Pyrimethanil showed better or equal control
