Effectiveness of Postharvest Treatment with Chitosan to Control Citrus Green Mold
Control of green mold, caused by Penicillium digitatum, by fungicides raises several problems, such as emergence of resistant pathogens, as well as concerns about the environment and consumers’ health. As potential alternatives, the effects of chitosan on green mold disease and the quality attributes of citrus fruits were investigated. Fruits were wounded then treated with different concentrati...
متن کاملMini-review: Heat treatments for the control of citrus postharvest green mold caused by Penicillium digitatum
Postharvest green mold, caused by the pathogen Penicillium digitatum (Pers.:Fr.) Sacc., is the most economically important postharvest disease of citrus fruits in Spain, areas with Mediterranean climate, and citrus production areas worldwide characterized by low summer rainfall. Economic losses due to this disease have been typically reduced through the application of synthetic chemical fungici...
متن کاملControl of citrus postharvest green mold and sour rot by potassium sorbate combined with heat and fungicides
Potassium sorbate (KS), a common food preservative, was evaluated to control postharvest decay of citrus fruit. Significant advantages of KS ver the commonly used sodium bicarbonate, which similarly improved fungicide performance, are the relatively low salt concentration of KS, the bsence of sodium, and its lower pH, so disposal of used KS solutions would raise fewer regulatory issues. The inf...
متن کاملThe effectiveness of pyrimethanil to inhibit germination of Penicillium digitatum and to control citrus green mold after harvest
Pyrimethanil (PYR) has recently been approved for postharvest use on citrus fruit to control green mold, caused by Penicillium digitatum. he EC50 of PYR to inhibit germination of P. digitatum spores was 0.2–0.4 mg/L and was similar from pH 4 to 7. Green mold on citrus fruit as reduced more than 90% by PYR at 500 mg/L or higher applied by immersing for 30 s or drenching the fruit, while its appl...
متن کاملControl of citrus green mold with Aspire is impacted by the type of injury
Aspire, a formulation of the yeast Candida oleophila registered for postharvest application to citrus for the control of green mold (Penicillium digitatum), competes with the pathogen for nutrients at injuries to prevent infection. A major factor affecting efficacy is how quickly and well the yeast colonizes injuries to the fruit surface, including minor injuries involving only oil vesicles. Co...
