Effect of temperature, wetness duration and cultivar on the development of anth...
Soares-Colletti,Ana Raquel; Lourenço,Silvia de AfonsecaThe development of a large number of postharvest diseases is closely associated with fruit ripeness. Environmental conditions may affect both the pathogen development and the fruit ripening rate. The aim of this study was to determine the most favorable temperature and wetness duration to the development of anthracnose in guava fruits. Cultivars 'Kumagai' (white pulp) and 'Pedro Sato' (red pulp) were inoculated...
Eradicant and curative treatments of hexanal against peach brown rot
Baggio,Juliana Silveira; Lourenço,Silvia de Afonseca; Amorim,LilianBrown rot, caused by Monilinia spp. , is one of the most important peach (Prunuspersica (L.) Batsch) diseases and the main cause of postharvest losses. Currently, alternative methods for postharvest disease control, such as the use of volatiles, are under investigation. The objective of this study was to determine the effects of hexanal on the in vitro development of Monilinia fructicola and M. laxa and on mono...
Alternative products in the "in vitro" inhibition of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum
Mello,Alexandre Furtado Silveira; Lourenço,Silvia de Afonseca; Amorim,LilianThe white mold, caused by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, is a very important disease in tomato crops. The objective of this work was to study the effect of plant extracts, animal residues and industrial by-products extracts on the fungus in vitro growth. Treatments consisted of different concentrations of pyrolignous oil, neem oil, monosodium glutamate, sewage sludge and organic compost [coffee residue (50%) coal re...
