Abstract
Monilinia spp. is one of the most important pathogens that cause preharvest and postharvest rots of apricot and peach fruit. To manage the fungicide resistance, a reduced-risk biofungicide based on antagonistic yeasts were tested against Monilinia spp. mold on Dacia apricot and peach cultivars. 
 The yeasts Metschnikowia pulcherrima were tested as a postharvest treatment to control rots of apricot and peach fruit. The yeasts were sprayed at concentration of 2 x 106 CFU/ml and 6 x 106 CFU/ml onto apricot and peach fruit. Biological treatment with M. pulcherrima reduced the incidence of fruit rot during postharvest storage at 4°C by 100%.
