waxed, the antagonist fights the
pathogen.
Fortunately,"the environmen-
tally friendly biofungiciede does
not act as a pathogen to plants.
And, since it does not grow at 37
degrees or higher, human body
temperatures, there is no adverse
human effect.
After some 10 years of research
and development, the yeast prod-
uct is almost ready for marketing.
Americans have concentrated on
pome and stone fruit—apples,
peaches and pears, and the Is-
raelis on citrus. For the last three
years. a pilot packing plant has
been set up in Beit Dagan to test
the efficacy of the yeast product.
Picked fruit is sometimes sprayed
or drenched with the biofungicide
three times a week in the large-
scale testing facility.
The yeast is now being formu-
lated for maximum vitality, po-
tency and shelf life. Ecogen Israel
