volatile organic compounds: efficacy against and of kiwifruit.

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are responsible for the antagonistic activity exerted by different biological control agents (BCAs). In this study, VOCs produced by strain 117-2b were tested against two kiwifruit fungal postharvest pathogens: and , through and assays. results demonstrated that 117-2b VOCs inhibit mycelial growth of and by 56% and 42.
