Abstract
A total of nine fungal and ten bacterial isolates were obtained in an appropriate combination of medium x dilution of leaf washing from the phylloplane of two relatively resistant and two tea clones very susceptible to blister blight. Fresh Exobasidium vexans spores when exposed to culture media containing different fungal and bacterial extracts responded antagonistically synergistically or neutrally. Some selected organisms were used on glasshouse and nursery plants. Under both conditions the antagonistic fungi demonstrated very good potential in reducing infection levels. Synergistic bacteria proved capable of increasing in-situ infection level particularly under nursery conditions. Four fungicides commonly used against E. vexans have shown different degrees of effects on these potentially beneficial fungi.
