“…Substantial progress has been made in finding alternatives to synthetic fungicides for the control of postharvest diseases of fruits (Chalutz and Droby 1997;Janisiewicz 1997;Smilanick et al 1993;Wisniewski and Wilson 1992;Utkehede and Sholberg 1986). Several antagonistic microorganisms have been discovered to reduce postharvest fungal decay of apples and other pome fruits.…”

Four isolates of Pseudomonas syringae, MA-4, MB-4, MD-3b, and NSA-6, from the phyllospere of apple trees, were evaluated as biocontrol agents for controlling blue mold [Penicillium expansum] and gray mold [Botrytis cinerea] of apples (Malus domestica) in storage. When separately co-inoculated with the two pathogens, the four isolates at a concentration of 1 × 10 7 CFU/mL controlled blue mold by 78-94% after incubation at 20°C for 5 days and by 64-70% at 4°C for 28 days. The incidence of gray mold was also significantly reduced by P. syringae isolates MD-3b, NSA-6, and MA-4 under these conditions. However, a higher concentration of P. syringae MA-4 and NSA-6 was required to control gray mold compared to blue mold. Spray treatment with P. syringae MA-4 significantly controlled blue mold on 'Empire' and 'Delicious' apples at 18 and 4°C. Under conditions similar to those of controlled atmosphere in commercial storage, a dip treatment with P. syringae MA-4 significantly controlled blue mold on 'Empire' and 'Delicious' apples and was more effective than the treatment with BioSave™, a commercially available biofungicide. Pseudomonas syringae MA-4 at a concentration of 1 × 10 8 CFU/mL controlled blue mold as efficiently as the chemical treatment with a combination of thiabendazole and diphenylamine.Résumé : Quatre isolats du Pseudomonas syringae, MA-4, MB-4, MD-3b et NSA-6, provenant de la phyllosphère de pommiers, ont été évalués en tant qu'agents de lutte biologique contre la moisissure bleue [Penicillium expansum] et la moisissure grise [Botrytis cinerea] de la pomme (Malus domestica) en entrepôt. Des réductions de la fréquence de la moisissure bleue de 78 à 94% après 5 jours d'incubation à 20°C et de 64 à 70% après 28 jours à 4°C ont été observées lorsque les quatre isolats d'agents de lutte biologique, à une concentration de 1 × 10 7 unités formant colonies par millilitre, ont été testés par inoculations mixtes avec chacun des deux agents pathogènes pris individuellement. Dans les mêmes conditions, la fréquence de la moisissure grise a aussi été significativement réduite par les isolats MD-3b, NSA-6 et MA-4 du P. syringae. Par contre, des concentrations plus élevées de P. syringae MA-4 et NSA-6 étaient requises pour lutter contre la moisissure grise que pour lutter contre la moisissure bleue. Un traitement par pulvérisation avec le P. syringae MA-4 a significativement réprimé la moisissure bleue sur les pommes 'Empire' et 'Delicious' à 18 et 4°C. Dans des conditions similaires à celles de l'entreposage commercial en atmosphère contrôlé, un traitement par trempage avec le P. syringae MA-4 a significativement contré la moisissure bleue sur les pommes 'Empire' et 'Delicious' et a été plus efficace qu'un traitement avec le BioSave{, un fongicide biologique disponible sur le marché. À une concentration de 1 × 10 8 unités formant colonies par millilitre, le P. syringae MA-4 a réprimé la moisissure bleue aussi efficacement qu'un traitement chimique combinant le thiabendazole et la diphénylamine.

“…Thus there is an urgent need to develop other methods for controlling postharvest decay of peach fruits. Alternatives such as treatment with hot water/alcohol (9:1 v/v), 6 fumigation with carbon dioxide 7 or acetic acid 4 and biological control 8,9 have been reported recently.…”

“…controlled Botrytis cinerea and Penicillium expansum in the wounded apples (Janisiewicz 1987). Smilanick et al (1993) reported the control of postharvest brown rot caused by Monilinia fructicola in nectarines and peaches using Pseudomonas sp. Similarly, P. fluorescens strain FP7 amended with chitin bioformulation effectively reduced the incidence of mango anthracnose under field conditions (Vivekananthan et al 2004).…”

Among the seven fungal (Gliocladium virens, Trichoderma hamatum, T. harzianum, T. koningii, T. longibrachiatum, T. pseudokoningii and T. viride) and two bacterial (Bacillus subtilis and Pseudomonas fluorescens) antagonists screened against C. gloeosporioides under in vitro conditions, T. harzianum exhibited maximum inhibition followed by Pseudomonas fluorescens at 5 days after incubation. These fungal and bacterial antagonists were selected for application to fruits infected with pathogens. Fruits inoculated with C. gloeosporioides were dipped in spore/cell suspensions of fungal/bacterial antagonists and kept for different durations. The fungal antagonists T. harzianum and P. fluorescens were effective in checking the spread of pathogens on fruits compared with the pathogen-inoculated control.
