Summary

A method was developed to select antagonists to be combined in mixtures that controlled blue mould (Penicillium expansum) of apple better than individual antagonists alone. Combining antagonists on the basis of niche differentiation was an effective method of improving control of postharvest blue mould and probably also for the other pre- and postharvest diseases.
