--- The Alternaria Brown Spot (ABS) is a plant disease caused by the fungus Alternaria alternata (Fr.) that attacks tangerines and the varieties of their hybrids, although it may cause considerable lesions on unsusceptible varieties if they are adjacent to heavily infested plants as high inoculum concentrations. Alternaria Brown Spot (ABS) attacks young fruit, leaves and twigs causing brown-to-black necrotic lesions surrounded by a yellow halo, defoliation and large sunken pockmarks, thus reducing the value of the fruit for the fresh market. Nowadays, fungicides are the primary way of controlling Alternaria Brown Spot. However, this practice has economic and ecological disadvantages because of its higher costs and the aggressiveness against the environment. The objectives of this study were to evaluate 7 fungal species and choose the best one as a biological control agent (BCA) to the control of Alternaria alternata based on in vitro results. Consequently, we have selected Trichoderma R6 that showed better results through evaluations in vitro: dual cultures, microscopic observations, and evaluation of inhibitory substances filtrates. Trichoderma R6 was evaluated in a field of tangerines citrus Fortune variety cultivars since the bud break (vegetative) stage, most susceptible phenological stage against this disease. The filtrate obtained from the selected fungal species got the control 58,33% of phytopathogen in comparison with the 50,0% and 48,52% obtained with conidia on rice and chemical fungicides application respectively. Key words: Biological control, citrus cultivars, Alternaria alternata, Trichoderma R6, phenological stage.
