The average number of lesions on control plants was 16.7 per leaf. A wettable powder product formulated with cells (10%) and metabolites (10%) of B. subtilis (WPBS), and CMBS sprayed on cucumber plants (1,000 ug/mL and 10,000 ug/mL) twice a week totally controlled powdery mildew. In the control treatment, 18 days after the first spray, the percent leaf surface covered by lesions was 99.0 and 46.7%, on the cotyledonary and expanded leaves, respectively. In the control treatment, 30 days after the first spray, the percent leaf surface with lesions was 26.1%, while leaves sprayed with CMBS presented no lesions. The fresh weight per plant was 4.3 g in the control treatment; 12.2 g, and 10.2 for plants sprayed with CMBS at the concentration of 1,000 and 10,000 ug/mL, respectively; and 9.7 g and 10.1 g for plants sprayed with WPBS 1,000 and 10,000 ug/mL, respectively. For zucchini squash, CMBS (5,000 ug/mL) sprayed every 2,4, and 6 days showed reductions in lesioned leaf surface of 100.0,98.3, and 94,7%, respectively. aAmpelomyces quisqualis abiological control acontrol methods afungicides anatural enemies apowdery mildew aSphaerotheca fuliginea aAbóbora aControle Biológico aCucumis Sativus aCucúrbita Pepo aOídio aPepino aResistência aAcremonium alternatum aCladosporium sp aCucumber aFungicidas aInimigos naturais aMétodos de controle aResistance aTilletiopsis spp aVerticillium lecanii aZucchini squash1 aGARIBALDI, A.1 aMIGHELI, Q. tBragantia, Campinasgv.56, n.2, p.281-287, 1997.
