Abstract:
... Benzyl isothiocyanate (BITC) is known to be a strong antifungal compound in vitro against different fungi. The effectiveness of benzyl isothiocyanate to control Alternaria alternata growth in vitro and in vivo was tested. BITC in vitro activity was evaluated in A alternata growing on potato dextrose agar and exposed to 0.025, 0.05, 0.1, 0.2 or 0.4 mg ml(-1). In vivo activity was evaluated by expos ...

Abstract:
... Copper is one of the oldest fungicidal agents, yet little is known about its mode of action. Solubilities of copper fungicides currently in use range from nil (copper oxide) to high (copper sulphate). We have investigated the effect of water solubility on protective activities of copper sulphate, copper hydroxide (slightly soluble) and copper oxide using conidia of Venturia inaequalis and an in vi ...

Abstract:
... Gray mold, caused by Botrytis cinerea, is the most important postharvest disease of table grapes. Chitosan, a natural biopolymer with antifungal and eliciting properties, and ethanol, a common food additive with antifungal properties, are both able to reduce postharvest decay of table grapes. The effectiveness of reduced doses of chitosan and ethanol, applied alone or in combination, to control gr ...

Abstract:
... Hexanal vapour and intact tomatoes were used as models to assess the opportunities for control of Botrytis cinerea rots by controlled release of organic vapours. Hexanal vapour concentrations in the ranges 5-270μLL⁻¹ were applied continuously or as a single dose at the start of storage. The postharvest microbiological, physiological and quality attributes of control and hexanal treated tomatoes we ...

Abstract:
... This study investigated the potential of edible carboxyl methylcellulose (CMC) containing moringa leaf and seed extracts as a novel postharvest treatment for maintaining storage quality and controlling diseases in ‘Hass’ and ‘Gem’ avocado fruit. The study also investigated the antifungal activity of methanolic and ethanolic moringa plant extracts. Briefly, 1% CMC was blended with 2% of moringa lea ...

Abstract:
... The foliar mold of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.), produced by Passalora fulva, constitutes an important phytosanitary problem that affects the production of tomato in greenhouse. The use of plant extracts could contribute to the disease management. In this sense, ethanolic extracts of Citrus aurantiifolia leaves have shown antifungal activity against P. fulva. The aim of this study was to deter ...
