Jackfruit is a tropical fruit highly perishable due to phytopathogenic diseases, with up to 35% postharvest losses. Currently, the control of these diseases is sought through the use of natural alternatives such as biocontrol agents. Therefore, this work aimed to identify the phytopathogens affecting jackfruit in postharvest and to study the antagonism of  Meyerozyma guilliermondii  and  Meyerozyma caribbica  for disease control. Eight postharvest fungi were identified using morphological and molecular techniques; those with high pathogenicity were  Lasiodiplodia theobromae ,  Rhizopus  sp., and  Neofusicoccum batangarum. Meyerozyma guilliermondii  gave the highest mycelial inhibitions, 100, 96, and 90% against  Rhizopus  sp.,  L. theobromae , and  N. batangarum , respectively. The lowest incidences of  Rhizopus  sp. decay were 22 and 32%, with  M. guilliermondii  and  M. caribbica , respectively.  Neofusicoccum batangarum  was identified for the first time in Nayarit as a postharvest pathogen for jackfruit. Yeasts showed antagonistic effects against these phytopathogens with inhibitions higher than 68%.
