ABSTRACT:
A process for biologically controlling postharvest disease in pome fruits using an isolate of Pseudomonas cepacia having the identifying characteristics of NRRL B18388. The organisms are isolated from the surface of apple leaves and are useful to control a variety of fruit-rot pathogens in a variety of pome fruits. Also disclosed is a process for controlling postharvest diseases in pome fruit using the antifungal compound, pyrrolnitrin.
