Effects of the application of different Trichoderma strains (T22, TH1, and GV41) on the antioxidant properties of strawberry fruits.
| Treatment | Antioxidant capacity [μmol eq Trolox/g] | Total polyphenols [mg/g] | Ascorbic acid [mg/100g] | Total anthocyanins [μg/g] | |
| Mean ± SD (%) | Mean ± SD (%) | Mean ± SD (%) | Mean ± SD (%) | ||
| CTR | 54.0 ± 10.7 bc | 10.9 ± 0.1 a | 116.8 ± 12.6 bc | 809.0 ± 13.0 bc | |
| T22 | 47.9 ± 0.9 abc (−11) | 8.6 ± 2.9 a (−21) | 107.0 ± 13.1 b (−8) | 818.1 ± 23.5 bc (1) | |
| TH1 | 42.8 ± 16.7 a (−21) | 9.5 ± 8.4 a (−13) | 102.8 ± 30.8 ab (−12) | 1340.7 ± 15.6 a (66) | |

Treatments were applied at the transplant (root dip) and monthly by irrigation. Data represent the mean value of eight biological replicates ± standard deviation (SD). Different letters in a single column indicate statistically significant differences for P < 0.05. Increments or decrements compared to control (CTR) are reported as % values in parenthesis.
