Six yeast strains isolated from the surface of pear fruits were evaluated for their ability to control post harvest blue mold (caused byPenicillium expense) on Golden Delicious apple fruits. All strains significantly reduced blue mold incidence and severity when applied simultaneously with the pathogen. Cryptococcus infirmo-miniatusstrain YY6 and Cryptococcus laurentiistrain HRA5 were the most effective, and populations in apple wounds increased approximately 1.2 log units within 10 days at 0°C and approximately 1.4 log units in 2 days at 5, 10, or 20°C. Control of blue mold by these two yeasts alone or in combination with a low dose of thiabendazole (15 μg/ml) was tested at 5, 10, and 20°C. Yeasts combined with thiabendazole controlled the disease significantly better at all temperatures (except at 10°C during 1994) than the low dose of thiabendazole alone, and the control was comparable to that achieved using a commercially recommended high dose of thiabendazole (525 μg/ml).C. infirmo-miniatuscontrolled disease incidence better thanC. laurentiiat 5, 10, and 20°C during 1993 and 1994.
