Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) Produced by and Displaying Control Effect against Table Grape-Rot Pathogens.

Table grapes () are affected by botrytis bunch rot and summer bunch rot, the latter a complex disease caused by , spp., and . To search for biocontrol alternatives, a new bioproduct composed of and , a consortium called PUCV-VBL, was developed for the control of fungal rots in table grapes.

Diffusible Compounds Produced by and Help to Control the Causal Agents of Gray Rot and Summer Bunch Rot of Table Grapes.

Gray and summer bunch rot are important diseases of table grapes due to the high economic and environmental cost of their control with synthetic fungicides. The ability to produce antifungal compounds against the causal agents , , , and of two microorganisms isolated from table grapes and identified as and was evaluated. In dual cultures, both biocontrol agents (together and separately) inhibited in vitro mycelial growth of these pathogens.
