Biological control of postharvest diseases of peach with Cryptococcus laurentii (2007, unknown): “Consumers are demanding less chemical residue on produce, and many fungi are developing resistance to commonly used fungicides (Conway et al., 2004).”
Biological control of postharvest diseases of fruits and vegetables by microbial antagonists: A review (2009, background): “In apple, integration of yeasts microbial antagonists with hot water dipping or bruising has been applied to check postharvest rots caused by Penicillium expansum and Botrytis cinerea (Leverentz et al., 2000, 2003; Conway et al., 2004, 2007; Spadaro et al., 2004).”
Twenty years of postharvest biocontrol research: Is it time for a new paradigm? (2009, background): “In practice, howver, despite the advantages noted, the performance of postharvest iocontrol products is still subject to significant variability, which as limited their acceptance as a postharvest disease management trategy (Wisniewski et al., 2001, 2007; Droby and Lechter, 2004).”
