Geotrichum candidum, Pestalotiopsis sp., Fusarium sp., Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, Aspergillus sp., Rhizopus sp., Bahusakala olivacea nigra, Botrytis cinerea and two bacteria: Xanthomonas sp. and Pseudomonas sp. were identified as postharvest pathogens on mandarins, sweet oranges and acid limes and the symptoms produced on these fruits are characterized. Biocontrol agents viz., Fusarium sp., Pestalotiopsis sp., Trichoderma viride and Cladosporium viride were isolated from healthy leaves and fruits. T. viride and Fusarium sp. were found effective in inhibiting the growth of most of the postharvest pathogens, in vitro and in vivo condition.
