Protective effect of two bacterial isolates (SJ19 and SJ4) on tomato plants against Botrytis cinerea. The bacteria were applied 1 h before , simultaneously , or 1 h after the inoculation with the pathogen (strain BC21). Six-week-old tomato plants (variety Clodano; Syngenta seeds, Switzerland) were used (five plants per modality). All treatments provided significant protection against the pathogen, compared to untreated control plants (P < 0.05). For a given bacterial strain, different letters above the bars indicate significant differences based on a Newman–Keuls multiple range test (P < 0.05) applied to the AUDPC values. Each value represents the mean from three independently repeated experiments ± SE
