Evaluation of Bacillus Spp. as Potential Biocontrol Agent for Postharvest Gray Mold Control on Golden Delicious Apple in Iran
نویسندگان
چکیده
Biocontrol of postharvest decay on apples could provide an alternative approach for chemical control. With the effort to look for effective biocontrol agents, Bacillus pumilus (B19), B. subtilis (B11), B. cereus (B16), B. subtilis (B11), B. cereus (B17), B. brevis (EN63-1) and B. licheniformis (EN74-1) were tested for their potential activity against gray mold caused by Botrytis mali on Golden Delicious apple in Iran. Dual culture, cell free metabolite and volatile compounds tests showed that all seven isolates inhibited growth of the pathogen. All isolates prevented development of B. mali lesion diameter on apples stored at 40°C from 9 to 32.2 mm as compared to 41.6 to 51.4 mm in control. At 20°C the lesion size was from 7 to 24.9 mm for treatments with antagonistic bacteria while in control it ranged from 42.2 to 46.6.

Biocontrol of postharvest decay using a new strain of Pseudomonas syringae CPA-5 in different cultivars of pome fruits
Epiphytic micro-organisms isolated from fruits and leaves surfaces of apples from different orchards were screened for antagonistic activity against Penicillium expansum. From all micro-organisms tested the new strain CPA-5 of Pseudomonas syringae, isolated from organic orchard, was selected. This strain was very effective against Botrytis cinerea, P. expansum and Rhizopus stolonifer at various...

Apple ring rot disease, caused by Botryosphaeria dothidea (Moug. ex. Fr) Ces. et de Not., is one of the most important diseases on apple fruits. In this study, strain 9001 isolated from healthy apple fruits from an infested orchard was evaluated for its biocontrol activity against apple ring rot in vitro and in vivo. Strain 9001 showed obvious antagonistic activity to B. dothidea YL-1 when plat...
