Biological protection of grapevine pruning wounds: Training system design and mycobiome dynamics.
Article in Pest management science, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundGrapevine trunk diseases (GTD) lead to progressive vine decline and are a major threat to viticulture sustainability worldwide. GTD can involve multiple fungal species, with Phaeomoniella chlamydospora being one of the most prevalent pathogens. Pruning wounds are the primary entry point for wood-inhabiting fungi. This study assesses the effectiveness of the biological control agent (BCA) Trichoderma atroviride strain SC1 in preventing natural GTD pathogen infections across three vineyard training systems.
resultsTrichoderma recovery was significantly lowest (48.1%) in the double-cordon training system (V3) and consistently higher (71.9%) in the head/spur system (V1). The treatment reduced GTD infection by 3.75%, and disease control declined markedly 1 year after application (61.1%) compared with ≤90 days post-treatment (92.6%). The controlled assay including culture-dependent and culture-independent approaches (high-throughput sequencing and quantitative polymerase chain reaction) revealed distinct detection patterns: culture methods favoured fast-growing fungi such as Trichoderma, whereas molecular tools enabled the detection of slower-growing taxa like P. chlamydospora. T. atroviride colonised wood up to 1-2 cm from the application point, whereas P. chlamydospora spread up to 5 cm. Overall, the pathogen had a stronger impact on wood mycobiome than the BCA, supporting the compatibility of Trichoderma with the resident grapevine microbiome.
conclusionThese findings provide new insights into the integration of BCAs within vineyard GTD management strategies and contribute to the broader transition towards sustainable viticulture and integrated pest management. © 2026 Society of Chemical Industry.
