A total of seven fungi were identified from the surface of fully matured papaya fruits cv. ‘Sekaki’ collected form two different fields namely University Agriculture Park, UPM and MARDI, Selangor and a fruit exporter [Seng Chew Hup Kee (M) Sdn Bhd, Kajang, Selangor, Malaysia]. They were identified as Botryodiplodia theobromae, Colletotrichum capsici, C. gloeosporioides, Fusarium sp., Phomopsis ...

Laboratory studies were carried out to isolate, identify and control the fungi associated with fruit rot of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum). Aspergillus viridae, Penicillium digitatum and Rhizopus sp were isolated from samples collected from Lokoja, Kabba, Okene, Anyigba and Ankpa, all in Kogi State, Nigeria. Plant extracts employed to control the vegetative mycelial growth were from neem (Aza...

Seventeen blackberry cultivars were evaluated for postharvest fruit-rot resistance in June and July, 2003. Fully mature, undamaged berries were harvested on two dates for each genotype at the University of Arkansas Fruit Substation, Clarksville. After transporting in chilled coolers to the Plant Pathology Department in Fayetteville, two replications of 10 berries of each genotype were placed in...

Crown rot caused by fungal pathogen is the most prevalent postharvest disease in banana fruit that results significant economic losses during transportation, storage, and ripening period. Antifungal effects of ultraviolet C (UVC) irradiation at doses varied from 0.01 to 0.30 kJ m-2 were investigated in controlling postharvest crown rot disease, maintenance of fruit quality, and the effects on a...

a study of two years was carried out on apples, red delicious cv. in comeh of semirom region. the objective of this research was to assess the effect of pre-harvest calcium phosphate (seniphos) spraying and summer pruning on the skin color and quality characteristics of the fruit. study was carried out using a complete randomized block design with 3 replications. trees were subjected to pre-har...

The present research deals with the effect of postharvest treatment of grape berries with four commonly used fungicides and two forms of Trichoderma harzianum on the infection with soft-rot fungiRhizopus stolonifer and Mucor piriformis. This effect was evaluated by comparison of the external diameter of rot-lesion in treated and untreated berries, in addition to comparison of percent reduction ...
