7.6 Fruit spray
Pseudomonas syringae (10% wettable powder) in the modified
packing line was sprayed at the rate of 10 g/l over apple fruit to control blue
and grey mold of apple. The population of antagonist increased in the
wounds more than 10 fold during 3 months in storage (Janisiewicz and
Jeffers, 1997). Research on the exploration of PGPR have to go a long way
to explore its usage to manage post harvest diseases.
