Abstract
Mango fruit quality, marketability and shelflife are adversely affected by postharvest disease development. The fungicides and plant activators suppress the disease development in fruits and vegetables. These studies were targeted to evaluate the potential of pre and postharvest fungicidal applications and on-tree foliar spray of a plant activator viz. a viz. salicylic acid for postharvest disease management in two commercial mango cultivars (Sindhri & Samar Bahisht Chaunsa) of Pakistan. Alternaria alternata (49.3% in Sindhri; 58.5% in Chaunsa), Phomopsis mangiferae (20.0% in Sindhri; 18.2% in Chaunsa) and Botryodiplodia sp. (3.9% in Sindhri; 2.7% in Chaunsa) were found to be associated with mango fruit stem end rot (SER) under agro-ecological conditions of Punjab, Pakistan. Penecillium sp. and Aspergillus sp. (A. niger & A. flavus) were identified to be associated with secondary infections in the diseased mango fruit tissues. Among the postharvest diseases, fruit side rots were predominant (5-10% affected area) followed by stem end and distal end rots (<5% affected area). Postharvest fungicidal treatments gave significantly better disease control as compared to preharvest applications. Postharvest hot water (52°C; 5min) application of Tecto (1.8 mL/L) a.i. Thiabendazole (TBZ) individually and in combination with Sportak (0.5 mL/L) a.i. Prochloraz (tank mix) resulted in significantly lower postharvest disease development than other pre and postharvest treatments. Pre and postharvest fungicidal applications significantly affected fruit peel color development. Relatively better color development was observed in the fruit subjected to postharvest fungicidal treatments as compared to preharvest applications. Non significant effect of both pre and postharvest fungicidal treatments was observed on biochemical quality attributes (TSS & titratable acidity). On tree foliar sprays of salicylic acid (250, 500 & 1000 μM) in cvs. Sindhri and Samar Bahisht Chaunsa at the time of panicle pushing/flower opening, fruit set and stone hardening could not perform well against postharvest disease development. © 2011 Friends Science Publishers
