Fruit plays an important role in human diet. Whereas, fungal pathogens cause huge losses
of fruit during storage and transportation, abuse of chemical fungicides leads to serious …

Postharvest biological control agents as a viable alternative to the use of synthetic chemicals
have been the focus of considerable research for the last 30 years by many scientists and …

Background Citrus is one of the most economically important horticultural crops in the world.
Citrus are vulnerable to the postharvest decay caused by Penicillium digitatum and P …

Significant losses in harvested fruit can be directly attributable to decay fungi. Some of these
pathogenic fungi are also the source of mycotoxins that are harmful to humans. Biological …
