Postharvest diseases pose substantial
threats to harvested fruits, causing significant losses in the agricultural
sector. Among these, Green Mold Disease, attributed to Penicillium digitatum (Pers.) Sacc. poses a considerable risk to
citrus fruits. This study delves into the potential of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens strain TV-17C as a biological control
agent for managing Green Mold Disease in oranges. Various concentrations of the
bioagent, B. amyloliquefaciens, were
applied to orange fruits, while the chemical fungicide Fludioxonil 230 SC
served as a comparative control. Remarkably, the application of B. amyloliquefaciens strain TV-17C at
the dosage of 250 ml 100 L-1 demonstrated noteworthy efficacy rates
of 90.32% in both Hatay and Mersin provinces. Similarly, Fludioxonil 230 SC
displayed an efficacy rate of 91.40%. In summary, this study underscores the
potential of B. amyloliquefaciens
strain TV-17C as an efficient biocontrol agent against Green Mold Disease in
oranges. Moreover, a positive correlation between higher concentrations and
enhanced efficacy rates is evident. These findings hold promise for the
adoption of sustainable disease management practices in the postharvest citrus
industry.
