Abstract:

In order to explore the biological control of gray mold caused by Botrytis cinerea on postharvest tomato, strain FQ-2 was isolated from tomato fruit by the Koch’s postulate, and the pathogen was identified based on its morphology and rDNA-ITS sequence. Bacillus amyloliquefaciens B9601-Y2 (Y2), an endophyte of wheat and B. velezensis DJB5 (DJB5), an endophyte of Dendrobium thyrsiflorum were used for biological control of the disease. By analyses, FQ-2 was identified as Botrytis cinerea, Y2 and DJB5 had good preventive and therapeutic effects on gray mold of tomato. Y2 with 1×107cfu/mL and DJB5 with 1×108cfu/mL had 88.10% and 73.47% of prevention effects, respectively, after 10 days when they were inoculated following FQ-2 in the same day. In the curing experiment, on the day of inoculation of B. cinerea, Y2 with 1×108cfu/mL and DJB5 with 1×107cfu/mL had 68.56% and 78.74% of curing effect, respectively, after 10 days when they were inoculated following FQ-2 in the same day. These results are of great significance to the postharvest biological control of tomato gray mold.
