Improving Biocontrol Potential of Antagonistic Yeasts Against Fungal Pathogen in Postharvest Fruits and Vegetables Through Application of Organic Enhancing Agents

Fruits and vegetables are essential for a healthy diet, providing vital nutrients and contribut- ing to global food security. Fungal pathogens that interact with fruits and vegetables reduce their quality and shelf life and lead to economic losses and risks to human health through the production of mycotoxins. Chemical fungicides, used to control postharvest pathogens, are posing serious environmental and health risks, driving interest in safer alternative strategies. Biocontrol methods using...
