AI-generated Abstract

Grey mould caused by Botrytis cinerea is a significant postharvest issue, particularly in apples, and its management is compromised by the growing resistance to fungicides and regulatory restrictions. This study explores the effectiveness of integrating biocontrol yeast C. laurentii with low doses of thiabendazole to combat both fungicide-sensitive and resistant strains of B. cinerea. Results indicate that this integrated approach significantly reduces decay, suggesting a viable alternative to traditional fungicide applications in postharvest disease management.
