Trichoderma viride was strongly antagonistic to Gerlachia nivalis in agar plate culture and it controlled infection of barley seedlings from seed‐borne inoculum when incorporated in soil as straw culture and from soil‐borne inoculum when conidia were applied to the seed coat. Penicillium expansum and Papulaspora byssina were inhibitory towards G. nivalis in culture, although not as strongly as T. viride , and they did not control seedling infection as effectively.
