Abstract:

The major postharvest diseases of citrus are briefly introduced and the bio-control of postharvest diseases
of citrus with antagonistic microorganisms is summarized in this paper. The following aspects are covered in this
review:antagonistic microorganism species, methods for their application, bio-control mechanisms and the development of
bio-control products which can control infectious diseases of postharvest citrus. In addition, many methods to enhance the
efficacy of antagonistic microorganisms for controlling postharvest diseases of citrus discussed. This knowledge will provide
a reference for bio-control of postharvest diseases in citrus.

Key words: antagonistic microorganisms, citrus, postharvest diseases, bio-control
