Abstract
Among eigtheen yeast isolates studied as potential agents for biocontr ol of stem-end rot on mango fruits caused by Lasiodiplodia theobromae, five were selected for testing in relation to three pathogen concentr ations (1x10(3), 1x10(4) and 1x10(5) conidia/ml). The isolate LM-5 (Ca ndida maritima) showed high control level at all pathogen concentratio ns. When tested against five pathogen isolates, LM-5 again demonstrate d high control efficiency, and at in vitro test, highly inhibited L. t heobromae spore germination. The isolate LM-5 demonstrated great poten tial as agent for postharvest biocontrol of mango rot.
