Journal ArticleDOI
Biological control of postharvest diseases of fruits.
TL;DR: Biological control of postharvest diseases (BCPD) has emerged as an effective alternative to fungicide use because wound-invading necrotrophic pathogens are vulnerable to biocontrol, antagonists can be applied directly to the targeted area (fruit wounds), and a single application can significantly reduce fruit decays.
Journal ArticleDOI
Iturin A is the principal inhibitor in the biocontrol activity of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens PPCB004 against postharvest fungal pathogens
TL;DR: A Bacillus amyloliquefaciens strain was characterized for its antifungal activity against seven selected fungal postharvest pathogens of citrus.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microbial hazards in irrigation water: standards, norms, and testing to manage use of water in fresh produce primary production.

TL;DR: The ILSI Europe Emerging Microbiological Issues Task Force as discussed by the authors reviewed the status of, and provided suggestions for, consideration by different stakeholders on water and sanitation and its impact on food safety and public health.
Journal ArticleDOI
Integrated control of citrus green and blue molds using Bacillus subtilis in combination with sodium bicarbonate or hot water
Joseph Obagwu,Lise Korsten +1 more
TL;DR: Bacillus subtilis isolates F1, L2, and L2-5, isolated from citrus fruit surfaces were evaluated for control of citrus green and blue molds caused by Penicillium digitatum and P. italicum, but were not as effective as the fungicide treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of volatile compounds produced by Bacillus strains on postharvest decay in citrus
TL;DR: The antifungal effects of volatiles increased with increasing time (days), and PPCB004 showed the highest inhibition of radial mycelial growth in P. crustosum than all other treatments.
