2008-12-01
Abstract excerpt
Epiphytic yeasts isolated from the surface of citrus fruits, harvested in several orchards in the Souss-Massa-Drâa Valley, Agadir, Morocco, were in vivo screened for antagonistic activity against Penicillium digitatum, the causal agent of green mold of citrus. From a total of 245 yeast strains assessed for their biocontrol activity against P. digitatum, fifteen reduced the incidence of disease to less than 50%. Th...
