Summary Tests in vitro and in situ showed that both mycelial and conidial suspensions of Acremonium mucronatum were antagonistic for Diplodia mutila , a common pathogen on the apical twigs of declining Quercus cerris, Quercus frainetto, Quercus pubescens and Quercus robur . Antagonism was greater with the mycelium than with the conidial suspensions, and was strongest at a test temperature of 20°C. The results suggest that pathogenicity of D. mutila on declining trees may be significantly reduced by the presence of A. mucronatum .
