Postharvest pathogens on fruits and their plant quarantine significance

Ganapathi A.N., . (1993) Postharvest pathogens on fruits and their plant quarantine significance. [Proceedings Paper]

A study was conducted on the postharvest fungal and bacterial diseases of local and imported fruits. This study reported on the pathogens intercepted from fruits that appeared not fit for consumption. This project was conducted from 1985 till 1990. Fruits were selected on the basis of the appearance of lesions on the surface.

Thielaviopsis sp. Oidium sp. Absidia sp. Botryodiplodia sp. Alternaria spp. and some bacterial isolates of plant quarantine importance. The plant quarantine significance of these pathogens in the fruit trade is also discussed. Selected postharvest treatment for fruits include hot water treatment vapour heat treament irradiation cold treatment hot air treatment and pesticide solution dipping.

Abstract

A study was conducted on the postharvest fungal and bacterial diseases of local and imported fruits. This study reported on the pathogens intercepted from fruits that appeared not fit for consumption. This project was conducted from 1985 till 1990. Fruits were selected on the basis of the appearance of lesions on the surface. Pathogens intercepted include Colletotrichum gloeosporioides C. dematium Penicillium digitatum Penicillium spp. Fusarium solani Fusarium moniliforme Chalara sp. Verticillium sp. Rhizopus sp. Thielaviopsis sp. Oidium sp. Absidia sp. Botryodiplodia sp. Alternaria spp. and some bacterial isolates of plant quarantine importance. The plant quarantine significance of these pathogens in the fruit trade is also discussed. Selected postharvest treatment for fruits include hot water treatment vapour heat treament irradiation cold treatment hot air treatment and pesticide solution dipping. Research findings by fruit technologist suggest that the postharvest treatment together with proper handling of fruits could prove beneficial in the control of pathogens growing on fruit surface
