Efficacy of Cryptococcus laurentii (1 × 10⁸ cells/mL) in inhibiting disease incidence of blue mold caused by Penicillium expansum in pear fruit wounds after 6 days of incubation at 25 °C in nutrient yeast dextrose broth (NYDB) (B), NYDB amended with chitin at 2.0% (C), 1.0% (D), 0.5% (E). The treatment with water and inoculated with P. expansum was served as the positive control (A). Bars represent standard errors.
