Summary

Two yeast isolates, identified as Trichosporon sp. and Candida sp., effectively controlled Botrytis rot of apple. Wounded fruit (cv Golden Delicious), treated with 1 million cells/ml of the biocontrol candidates and artificially inoculated with the pathogen showed a significantly lower disease incidence than the control fruit, at both 2-4 and 22 deg C. Biocontrol activity was good in the presence of a medium disease incidence, and still satisfactory under more severe disease pressure.
