Abstract
SUMMARY Trichoderma viride spores applied in water to apparently uninjured skin of oranges do not cause lesions. Adding orange juice, rind extract, citric acid or orange essential oil did not influence infection. Oranges became infected only when the stem‐end cuts or wounds deeper than 6 mm into oil vesicles were inoculated. Sound oranges in contact with decayed oranges did not become infected. Diphenyl‐impregnated wrappers reduced infection. A mixed inoculum of T. viride and Penicillium digitatum caused as fast rotting as P. digitatum , which caused faster rotting than T. viride alone. Lesions infected with P. digitatum could become infected by T. viride but those caused by T. viride did not become infected by P. digitatum. T. viride was antagonistic to P. digitatum in vivo and in vitro , possibly because it produces a heat‐labile diffusible substance toxic to P. digitatum.
