Yeast isolates to inhibit blue mould and bitter rot of apples

Other claims from this paper (6)
- Intervention effect Twenty-eight yeast isolates significantly reduced blue mould lesions against pathogen control.
- Intervention effect Four yeast isolates significantly reduced bitter rot lesions.
- Intervention effect The four bitter-rot-suppressing yeast isolates also reduced blue mould lesions.
- Association Increasing yeast concentration reduced lesion size in a loglinear fashion.
- Intervention effect Applying yeast before the pathogen reduced lesion size more than applying it afterward.
- Intervention effect Yeast cell extracts did not reduce lesion development.
