The utilization of antagonistic microorganisms and/or natural derived products seems a
suitable strategy to reduce or replace synthetic fungicides in the control of postharvest …

The postharvest phase has been considered an environment for successful application of
biological control agents (BCAs). However, the interactions between fungal pathogen, host …

Several possible biocontrol mechanisms have been suggested as being effective against
post‐harvest fruit spoilage. These include competition (for nutrients and space), antibiosis …

Abstract Research on Biological Control of Postharvest Diseases (BCPD) has been
conducted for over two decades and successes, present and future direction are being …

This paper discusses the importance of determining the mode of action of biological control
agents (BCAs) to improve successful postharvest biological control strategies. The protective …

The past decade has been marked by unprecedented developments in biological control of
postharvest diseases (BCPD). There are more than two dozen programs internationally …

The postharvest phase has been considered a very suitable environment for successful
application of biological control agents (BCAs) due to several parameters, such as …

Overview: Biological control of postharvest products has great potential because postharvest
environmental parameters such as temperature and humidity can be rigidly controlled to suit …

In this chapter, the author describes pioneering work on biocontrol of diseases of harvested
fruit, and some attempts to control fruit diseases in the field with the intent of extending its …
