Yeasts occur in all environments and have been described as potent antagonists of various
plant pathogens. Due to their antagonistic ability, undemanding cultivation requirements …

The use of biocontrol agents as an alternative to synthetic, chemical fungicides that are
presently used to control postharvest pathogens, has many constraints and obstacles that …

Considerable economic losses to harvested fruits are caused by postharvest fungal decay
during transportation and storage, which can be significantly controlled by synthetic …

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

Fruit decay caused by pathogenic moulds is a major concern in the postharvest quality and
shelf life of fruit. Blue mould decay is caused by Penicillium expansum (P. expansum) and is …

Biological control and induced resistance are two of the promising approaches to the control
of postharvest diseases. This study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of salicylic acid …

bicarbonate (SBC) aqueous solutions heated to 40° C, alone or followed by the application …

This study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of the biocontrol yeast Cryptococcus
laurentii and salicylic acid (SA) in suppressing the blue and gray mould rots in pear fruit and …

The effect of Rhodotorula mucilaginosa cultured in media containing chitosan on its
antogonistic activity against postharvest diseases of strawberries and the possible …

This study was designed to evaluate the impact of chitin on the antagonistic activity of
