geographic areas may be more adapted and, therefore, should be
better antagonists than BCAs from other origins. (Pimenta et al.,
2009).
The aim of the present work was to select regional yeast isolates to
be used in the biocontrol ofP. expansumandB. cinereain pears stored
at low temperature in commercial packinghouses in North Patagonia.
A comparison of the antagonistic activity of these yeasts and a
commercial culture of biocontrol yeast was also carried out.
