Pulcherrimin and Beyond: The Multifaceted Role of Metschnikowia pulcherrima in Postharvest Disease Management—A Scoping Review
effectively reduces postharvest disease incidence and severity caused by certain fungi. Furthermore, its synergistic effect when combined with emerging technologies is notable. The results highlight its potential as a sustainable alternative to synthetic fungicides, although further studies are needed for large-scale commercial application.
