Endophytic bacteria were tested in the postharvest biocontrol of M. laxa and R. stolonifer in stone fruits. Of a total of 122 strains of these sub-epidermis microorganisms isolated from various horticultural sources (cucumber, eggplant [aubergine], pepper [Capsicum], tomato, zucchini, apricot, peach and plum), approx. 20 showed >90% control of the given pathogens. R. stolonifer appeared to be less susceptible than M. laxa to the endophytes. The influence of conidial concn of M. laxa and of antagonist/pathogen contact time on the effectiveness of biocontrol were also evaluated.
