Abstract:
... Anthracnose caused by Colletotrichum gloeosporioides is a severe postharvest mango disease. Postharvest application of fungicides is necessary to effectively control this disease, however, many of these fungicides are not allowed in many countries. In this study we aimed to investigate the combined effect of 1% chitosan plus 400 μLL⁻¹ thyme oil to control anthracnose and improve shelf life ...
