The effectiveness of Pk_EgyACGEB_O1 and Pk_EgyACGEB_O2 in controlling Botrytis cinerea infecting apples. Golden delicious apples were pretreated with either Pk_EgyACGEB_O1 or Pk_EgyACGEB_O2 at concentrations of 25 µl of 5 × 107 CFUs/ml or 50 µl of 5 × 107 CFUs/ml, respectively, and then inoculated with B. cinerea at a concentration of 25µl of 1 × 105 spores/ml. After 21 days, apples pretreated with either Pk_EgyACGEB_O1 or Pk_EgyACGEB_O2 exhibited significant efficacy in controlling gray mold disease, as evidenced by the reduced incidence of illness and lesion width. A higher concentration of Pk_EgyACGEB_O1 or Pk_EgyACGEB_O2 pretreatment led to better disease control efficacy indicating a dose–response relationship
