Effects of Temperature and Relative Humidity on the In Vitro and In Vivo Radial Growth of Penicillium italicum and on the Biocontrol Activity of Pichia guilliermondii, Strain Z1
[en] The objective of this study was to assess the effect of temperature (5-25°C) on the ‘in vitro’ and ‘in vivo’ growth rates of Penicillium italicum and to determine the combined effect of temperature and relative humidity (45 to 100%) on lesion size of this pathogenic fungus on Valencia late oranges, either alone or in combination with the antagonistic yeast strain Z1 of Pichia guilliermondii Wickerham. Statistical analysis showed a significant effect of temperature on the ‘in vitro’ and ‘in vivo’ radial growth of P. italicum with the maximum growth observed at temperature of 25°C. In both cases, no growth was observed at a temperature of 35°C. These factors had a significant effect on P. italicum lesion size when it was applied alone on Valencia late oranges and insignificant when yeast strain Z1 was applied 24 h before P. italicum inoculation. Our results confirm previous ‘in vitro’ findings that aw has a greater influence than temperature on P. italicum growth and highlight that the strain Z1 showed high antagonistic potential against this pathogen over a range of temperature-relative humidity regimes favouring P. italicum development.
