The beneficial combination of Bacillus subtilis PTA-271 and Trichoderma atroviride SC1 attenuates the Botryosphaeriaceae dieback symptoms induced in Chardonnay (D–F) and Tempranillo (G–I) rootlings by the Neofusicoccum parvum strain Np-Bt67. One-month pretreated grapevine rootlings with PTA-271, Ta SC1, and both BCA (Bs, Ta, and Bs + Ta) and non-treat plants (Ctl) were inoculated with pathogen mycelium (Np). Non-infected plants were inoculated with sterile medium without pathogen (Control). Compared to healthy asymptomatic rootlings (A, right), the infected symptomatic rootlings showed the typical Botryosphaeria dieback symptoms: full dieback percentage (A left, E), stem external canker (B,E,H) and stem internal necrosis (C,F,I) that were photographed (A–C) and quantified (D–I) at 2.5 months post-inoculation. Data are means ± standard deviation (SD) for at least three independent experiments with 10 biological replicates per treatment. Vertical bars with different letters are significantly different (multiple comparison procedures with Tukey’s test, p < 0.05).
