Fruit -- Postharvest diseases and injuries -- Biological control Fruit -- Postharvest losses -- Prevention Microbial biotechnology Dissertations -- Microbiology Thesis (Ph.D. Agric.) -- University of Stellenbosch, 1998. Postharvest diseases represent a major limiting factor in the longterm storage of fruit. The major postharvest losses of pome fruit are caused by fugal pathogens such as Botrytis cinerea, Penicillium expansum and Mucor piriformis. Presently, synthetic fungicides are the primary means for the control of postharvest diseases. Public concern for food safety, development of several fungicide-tolerant strains of postharvest diseases. Over thepast 15 years many researchers world-wide investigated the use of naturally-occurring antagonistic microorganisms for fruit decay control. Several effective antagonists have been reported, however only two were commercialized and are currently available for commercial use.
