Abstract
(...) Lesion size and frequency of Botrytis rot were significantly less in fruit pretreated with aqueous suspensions of strains 87 and 101. Significant, but marginal, reduction of Penicillium rot was observed in treatments with these yeasts. Biological control of Botrytis rot was enhanced when wounds were treated with strain 87 in aqueous solutions of CaCl 2 , KCl and CaCO 3 . Salt solutions applied to wounds without yeast cells did not reduce rot. The ability of the salt solutions to enhance control with yeasts was not related to the osmotic potential of the solutions. Calcium chloride was the most effective salt (...)
