Biological control of postharvest products has great potential because postharvest environmental parameters such as temperature and humidity can be rigidly controlled to suit the needs of the biocontrol agent. Also, harvested commodities offer a concentrated target for the application of biocontrol agents. In this chapter we provide a personal account of the driving force behind the research and the people that were instrumental in developing postharvest biocontrol technology, the commercialization of new products and the discovery of new science and technologies to optimize the efficacy of the biocontrol process. © CAB International 2007.
