Bacillus subtilisisolates B2, B6 andBacillus brevis isolate EN63-1 were evaluated for control of apple gray mould caused byBotrytis mail isolate 20JR. These isolates were evaluated alone, or in combination with sodium bicarbonate on artificially inoculated Golden Delicious apple cultivar. Treated fruit were stored at 4 and 20 °C for 30 and 14 days respectively. When applied alone, all isolates performed significantly better than the control in checking lesion diameter of gray mould. Isolate B6 was more effective than B2 and EN63-1 in this respect. A significant increase in biocontrol activity of all isolates was observed when isolates were combined with sodium bicarbonate
