Successful biological control of the major postharvest diseases on apple and pear with a new strain of Candida sake.

Following a large screening programme a strain of C. sake (CPA-1) was found to be particularly effective in controlling the 3 major postharvest pathogens on pome fruits in the Mediterranean Area; Penicillium expansum (blue-mould), Botrytis cinerea (gray-mould) and Rhizopus nigricans [R. stolonifer] (Rhizopus rot). In lab. experiments C. sake completely controlled B. cinerea and R. stolonifer on apples and gave more than 80% of control of P. expansum on apples and pears. In controlled atmosphere storages P. expansum rot was effectively controlled (97%), but was more effective at 3% than 1 or 21% oxygen. In semi-commercial and commercial trials with cv. Golden Delicious apples effective control of postharvest diseases was achieved in various cold storage conditions.
