The present invention relates to the treatment and/or prophylaxis of storage diseases of harvested material. This object is achieved by the use of the bacterium of Pseudomonas sp. Proradix (DSMZ 13134). This object is further achieved by a method comprising provision of harvested material, contacting said harvested material with a solution containing the bacterium of Pseudomonas sp. Proradix (DSMZ 13134), and storing the harvested material outside of the ground soil.
