TL;DR: This study provides the first evidence concerning the composition of Aspergillus populations in raisin andwine-producing vineyards and offers convincing data for their ability to produce various levels of OTA in Corinth raisins and wine-producing grapes in Greece and demonstrates that chemical applications with the fungicide Switch could both significantly reduce the occurrence of Ochratoxin A-producing As pergillus spp.

TL;DR: Two of the most effective bacterial isolates, designated as K-165 and 5-127, were shown to be rhizosphere colonizers, very efficient in inhibiting mycelial growth of V. dahliae in dual cultures and successfully controlling Verticillium wilt of solanaceous hosts.

TL;DR: Biological control using microbial antagonists either alone or as part of an integrated control strategy to reduce pesticide inputs, has emerged as a promising approach for control of mycotoxins in crops, both pre- and post-harvest.

TL;DR: It was demonstrated that A. pullulans Y-1 was as effective as the commercial fungicide fludioxonil + cyprodinil, in reducing sour rot infection, A. carbonarius presence on berries at harvest and ochratoxin A contamination in must.
