  "abstract": "<p>In the present study, antagonistic activity of locally isolated bio agents including five fungi and three bacteria was evaluated against&nbsp;<em>Sclerotinia sclerotiorum&nbsp;</em>(Lib.) de Bary casual of white rot of snap beans. All tested biocontrol agents were able to inhibit radial growth and&nbsp;<em>sclerotia&nbsp;</em>viability in dual culture assay.&nbsp;<em>Trichoderma hamatum&nbsp;</em>(Bonorden) Bainier was the most effective agent in suppressing the mycelial growth of&nbsp;<em>S. sclerotiorum&nbsp;</em>by 93% compared to control. Whereas, tested isolates of<em>&nbsp;Trichoderma viride&nbsp;</em>Pers and&nbsp;<em>Coniothyrium minitans</em>&nbsp;Campbell were able to completely deactivating all treated&nbsp;<em>sclerotia</em>. In field trial, same isolates were tested in comparison of other commercial bio products. Naturally infested soil with&nbsp;<em>S. sclerotiorum</em>&nbsp;treated with local isolated bio agents as well as some commercial bio agents.&nbsp; Local isolate of&nbsp;<em>C. minitans</em>&nbsp;was the most effective in reducing disease incidence and the disease severity by 94.6% living plants (5.4 % mortality) and 13.0, respectively.&nbsp;<em>Trichoderma hamatum&nbsp;</em>and Contans&reg; (commercial product&nbsp;<em>C. minitans</em>) also minimized disease severity by 14 and 16.2%, respectively when compared to untreated control. Among tested bacterial bicontrol agents,&nbsp;<em>Pseudomonas fluoroscens</em>&nbsp;was the best in reducing disease severity by 21.3% compared to controls. Yield data showed that&nbsp;<em>Trichoderma hamatum&nbsp;</em>increased total yield (10.485 ton/ha) Conversely,&nbsp;<em>C. minitans&nbsp;</em>was the best in increasing quality of yield in terms of exportable yield that giving 9.729 ton/ha.</p>",
