The invention belongs to the technical field of biological prevention and control of
postharvest diseases, and particularly relates to biocontrol
serratia rubra and application thereof to
postharvest disease control, storage and fresh keeping of
pear fruits. The method comprises the following steps: activating and culturing
serratia rubra, centrifuging after culturing to obtain thalli, and re-suspending by using sterile normal
saline to obtain a bacterial suspension; the method comprises the following steps:
punching holes in the surfaces of pears, injecting the holes, and then injecting
penicillium expansum
spore suspension with the same volume, thereby realizing effective control on
penicilliosis caused by
penicillium expansum; or uniformly spraying the
serratia rubra suspension on the surfaces of the pears, and naturally airing, so as to realize the purposes of
disease control, storage and fresh-keeping after the pears are picked. According to the method, the occurrence of
penicilliosis after the pears are picked can be remarkably reduced, the natural rotting rate after the pears are picked is reduced, the method is safe and
environmentally friendly, no remarkable
adverse effect is generated on main quality indexes of the picked pears, the storage quality of the pears can be kept, a remarkable technical effect is achieved, and the application prospect is wide.
