Combination of ultraviolet-C light and biocontrol agent treatments to control green mould in orange fruit Biological control yeast isolate ‘13L’ and Bacillus subtilis isolate 160B were used separately or in combination with ultraviolet light (1.5kj m-2) to control citrus green mould

Twenty-nine and fifty-two % of the inoculated wounds were infected when treated with yeast and bacteria respectively. When 13L was combined with UV-C this percentage dropped to 11%, while with the bacteria it remained the same. UV-C treatment alone had 32% of rotted wounds.

Population dynamic studies in vitro and in vivo combined with scoparone quantisation suggest that scoparone induction by UV-C light may be the reason of the negative interaction between UV-C and bacteria.
