The invention discloses a
Pichia manshurica for controlling
postharvest diseases of oranges and grapes, and belongs to the field of biological control of
postharvest diseases of fruits. A strain is identified as
Pichia manshurica, and is named as
Pichia manshurica Y4, and the preservation number of the Pichia manshurica Y4 is CGMCC 2.5415. When the Pichia manshurica is used, the Pichia manshurica is activated, cultured and centrifuged to obtain thalli, and the thalli are diluted with
sterile water to prepare a
thallus suspension with the concentration of 1.0*10<8> / mL. The suspension is sprinkled to the exocuticle of the fruits through using a watering pot, the fruits are air-dried, the
dried fruits are put in a plastic basket, the plastic basket is sealed with a
preservative film, and the sealed fruits are stored under
room temperature conditions. The incidence of orange
Penicillium digitatum, grape
Aspergillus niger and gray molds is substantially reduced
after treatment with the Pichia manshurica. The Pichia manshurica can substitute chemical bactericides to prevent and control
postharvest diseases of oranges and grapes, avoids harms of the chemical bactericides to people, and has substantial economic and
social benefits.
