Pyrrolnitrin (an antibiotic isolated from Pseudomonas cepacia) was tested for postharvest control of B. cinerea infections on cut Sonia and Royalty rose flowers. After pyrrolnitrin was applied as a bud dip, buds were inoculated with conidia of B. cinerea and stored for 7 d at 2 deg C. No phytotoxicity was observed on leaves or petals at concn of pyrrolnitrin up to 200 mg/litre. Dip treatment with 100 mg/litre reduced lesion development by c. 90% compared with inoculated control flowers and prevented poststorage flower rot. This degree of disease control was comparable to that achieved with 1800 mg vinclozolin/litre (the max. label rate).
