Abstract:
... Brown rot (Monilinia spp.) on sweet cherries causes blossom blight and fruit rot at pre- and post-harvest stages. In this study, surveys were carried out in the Aegean Region in 2015, 2016 and 2017. In these surveys, it was determined that the prevalence of Monilinia spp. causing blossom blight ranged from 2.6% to 20.6% and and fruit rot from 5.3% to 10.8% in sweet cherry orchards, respectively. A ...

Abstract:
... In December 2019, two fungal isolates were isolated from rotting tissue of winter squash (Cucurbita maxima) fruits stored in Hokkaido, Japan. These isolates were identified as Fusarium sambucinum based on morphological characteristics and DNA sequencing analysis. Inoculation of wounds in winter squash fruits with the isolates resulted in the same symptoms, and the isolates were reisolated, reveali ...

Abstract:
... Olive production has expanded strongly in the last twenty years in Uruguay. In this study, a collection of 37 Botryosphaeriaceae isolates obtained from stem canker and fruit rot symptoms in olive trees of six cultivars from 14 orchards throughout the country were characterized. Based on phylogenetic analysis of ITS and TEF‐1α gene regions and phenotypical characteristics, eight species belonging t ...

Abstract:
... Survey of Sclerotium rolfsii Sacc. causing fruit rot disease of Ridge gourd (Luffa acutangula. L) was carried out in 14 localities of Maharashtra and Karnataka states. MIC of propiconazole on agar plates (in vitro) and fruit (in vivo) showed variation from 40 to 60 jg/ml and 24 to 35 jg/ml respectively. The effect of passage in the development of propiconazole resistance in the sensitive isolate i ...

Abstract:
... Apple fruit cv. Golden Delicious symptoms of rot were collected from storage in the area of Eğirdir district of Isparta province, in Turkey. Based on morphology and phylogeny of DNA sequence data for the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) rDNA region, the isolated pathogen was identified as Diplodia bulgarica. This is the first description of D. bulgarica causing postharvest fruit rot on Malus dome ...

Abstract:
... Worldwide, fruit and vegetable production is permanently affected by many threats including microbial pathogens. Among them, different fungal pathogens cause severe symptoms on fruits in pre- and postharvest. During postharvest, multiple attempts have been made to control the microbial decay of fresh horticultural commodities by using alternatives to synthetic fungicides, which threaten environmen ...
... Four members of Fusarium solani species complex (FSSC), F. cucurbiticola, F. petroliphilum, F. falciforme and F. keratoplasticum, cause foot, crown, stem and fruit rot in cucurbits. Although previous studies revealed that F. cucurbiticola was the pathogen causing crown and fruit rot in Taiwan melons, these are unreliable in assessing FSSC infection in cucurbits in Taiwan. We collected 47 FSSC isol ...

Abstract:
... Postharvest rot caused by Fusarium species is considered one of the most devastating diseases limiting production and commercialization of water melon worldwide. Two economically important fungi species are generally responsible for fruit rot in watermelon. The aim of this study was to identify and characterize the fruit rot causing pathogen in watermelon in Ibadan Nigeria. Symptomatic watermelon ...

Abstract:
... Cranberry fruit rot (CFR) pathogens are widely reported in the literature, but performing large-scale analysis of their presence inside fruit has always been challenging. In this study, a new molecular diagnostic tool, capable of identifying simultaneously 12 potential fungal species causing CFR, was used to better define the impact of CFR across cranberry fields in Québec. For this purpose, 126 f ...
... This study sought to utilize plant extracts to reduce rot in Carica papaya fruit caused by Cladosporium herbarum. Separate studies on the isolation and reemergence of the fungus were conducted. The phytochemical qualities of Anacardium occidentale, Prunus dulcis and Gmelina arborea leaf samples were assessed, and the potential antifungal properties of the extracts were investigated using disc diff ...
... Pistachio (Pistacia vera) is an important Mediterranean crop. In Italy, pistachio is cultivated in the southern regions, of which Sicily is the main production area. Recently, the phytopathological situation of this crop has started to be updated, and new diseases have been discovered, studied, and reported. Botryosphaeriaceae spp. and Leptosillia pistaciae are major canker/rot pathogens, and Cyto ...
... Pomegranate is an important favourite fruit of tropical, subtropical and arid regions. In India, it is grown in almost all the states but a commercial orchard exists in Maharashtra and Gujarat. Some pathogens only attack the fruit from the inside, while the external surface of the fruit remains asymptomatic. Diseased fruit display poor shelf life and flavour quality attributes. Changes include los ...
... Developing effective bio-control agents can safely and effectively reduce the high rate of citrus fruit decay caused by Penicillium spp. in post-harvest storage. Thus, present experiments were conducted to investigate the biocontrol efficiency of volatiles produced by Ceriporia lacerate HG2011 against Penicillium spp., P. italicum infection of wounds artificially created on citrus fruit, and fruit ...

Abstract:
... Powdery mildew, caused by Podosphaera aphanis, is an important disease of strawberries under protection. Botrytis fruit rot is an important cause of losses in strawberries particularly under open-field conditions. Current control of both these diseases in the UK is dependent on conventional fungicides. Recently, research in the UK demonstrated that integrating biopesticides and biostimulants with ...
... Agrochemicals, such as Antibiotics (Ofloxacin, Erythromycin, Ciprofloxacin and Amoxicillin), salts (Calcium chloride, Magnesium chloride, Potassium chloride and Cobalt chloride), Fertilizers (Di-ammonium phosphate, Urea, N:P:K, Muriate of potash) and Micronutrients (Zinc, Boron, Iron and Molybdenum) were evaluated to control infection of Sclerotium rolfsii Sacc. on Ridge gourd (Luffa acutangula L. ...
... Watercore is a physiological disorder which often occurs on the pear fruit and the excessive accumulation of sorbitol in fruit intercellular space is considered to be an important cause of watercore. Our previous studies found that the metabolic disorder of sugars may lead to hypoxia stress and disturb respiration, resulting in aggravated fruit rot and the formation of bitter substances. However, ...
... Successfully inserting a biocontrol agent (BCA) in the integrated management of mango fruit decay can be affected by several factors, including BCA inoculum density and the timing of its application. This study focused on improving biocontrol efficacy by adjusting doses of a BCA formulation and the timing for the substitution of synthetic fungicides sprays. Technical grade formulations containing ...
