Controlling of fruit rot (caused by L. theobromae) and the anthracnose (caused by C. gloeosporiodes) by cell suspension of the antagonistic yeast strains and VOCs produced by the antagonistic yeast strains on postharvest mango fruits at 25 °C for 7 days.

nd: not determined. Data in the same column data followed by the different, same, and overlapping lowercase letters means significantly different and not significantly different according to the overlapping of Duncan’s multiple range test at p ≤ 0.05. Each result presents the mean ± standard derivation from three replicates. a Wound diameter was an average wound diameter from five mango fruits; each of the wound diameters were measured and averaged. b The disease severity reduction (%) = (diameter of the wounds on the positive control − diameter of the wounds on the treatment/diameter of the wounds on the positive control) × 100.
