Improved Control of Postharvest Decay of Pears by the Combination of Candida sake (CPA-1) and Ammonium Molybdate Nunes, Carla Usall, Josep Teixidó, Neus Abadias, Maribel Viñas, Immaculada Producció Vegetal Postcollita The potential enhancement of Candida sake (CPA-1) by ammonium molybdate to control blue and gray mold caused by Penicillium expansum and Botrytis cinerea, respectively, on Blanquilla pears was investigated. In laboratory trials, improved control of blue and gray molds was obtained with the application of ammonium molybdate (1, 5, 10, and 15 mM) alone or in combination with C. sake at 2 × 106 or 2 × 107 CFU ml–1 on Blanquilla pears stored at 20°C. In semicommercial trials at 1°C for 5 months, the efficacy of C. sake at 2 × 106 CFU ml–1 on reducing P. expansum and B. cinerea decay was enhanced more than 88% with the addition of ammonium molybdate 5 mM in the 1999–2000 season. In two seasons, the performance C. sake at 2 × 106 CFU ml–1 plus ammonium molybdate was similar to or greater than that of C. sake at 2 × 107 CFU ml–1. Similar control of blue mold was obtained on pears stored under low oxygen conditions. The preharvest application of ammonium molybdate did not reduce postharvest blue mold decay. The population of C. sake on pear wounds significantly decreased in the presence of ammonium molybdate 1 and 5 mM at 20 and 1°C 2025-10-22T11:11:02Z 2025-10-22T11:11:02Z 2025-10-22T11:11:02Z 2002 info:eu-repo/semantics/article Nunes, Carla, Josep Usall, Neus Teixidó, Maribel Abadias, and Immaculada Viñas. 2002. “Improved Control of Postharvest Decay of Pears by the Combination of Candida Sake (CPA-1) and Ammonium Molybdate.” Phytopathology 92 (3): 281-287. doi: 10.1094/phyto.2002.92.3.281 0031-949X http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12327/3691 https://doi.org/10.1094/PHYTO.2002.92.3.281 eng Phytopathology CICYT/ /ALI96-0567/ES/Mejora de la calidad de la fruta de pepita en postcosecha y eliminación de residuos mediante el control biológico de sus principales enfermedades fúngicas/ info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International Copyright © 2002 The American Phytopathological Society American Phytopathological Society
