Three hundred and sixty-eight isolated of Penicillium were recovered from water collected from flotation tanks in four apple packinghouses i southeastern New York. The 345 isolates, which caused blue mold in inoculated apples (Malus domestica), were identified to species and tested for sensitivity to methyl 2-benzimidazolecarbamate (MBC) and diphenylamine (DPA). Sixty-five isolates were P. expansum, 277 were P. auantiogriseum, two were P. citreonigrum, and one was P. dendriticum. Thirty-one isolates of P. expansum were sensitive to MBC (...)
