CHEMOTHERAPEUTIC CONTROL OF POSTHARVEST DECAY OF
KINNOW MANDARIN AND LEMON CAUSED BY PENICILLIUM DIGITATUM SACC. M.B. ILYAS, T. NAVEED, *M. INAM-UL-HAQ, N. JAVED AND S.M. MUGHAL
Abstract:
In
an In vitro evaluation Daconil was found to be the most effective
fungicide in inhibiting mycelial growth of Penicillium
digitatum followed by Antracol, Rubigon, Calixin, Thiahendazole,
Calixin M., Tilt and Nimrod. Though Tilt as dip treatment was the most
effective in controlling post harvest decay of lemon fruit but it was
comparatively less so in controlling decay of Kinnow fruit. Tilt,
Thiabendazole and Daconil + Rubigon (1:1) were statistically equally
effective in controlling decay of Kinnow fruits. There was an increased
reduction in percent fruit decay with an increase in Tilt concentration.
Tilt also caused reduction in lesion size of the decaying fruits. Lower
concentration of Tilt which were ineffective for Kinnow fruit, were
quite effective for controlling decay of lemon fruits.
