Aims: To investigate the potential of Pantoea agglomerans to control major post‐harvest diseases on Golden Delicious apples. Methods and Results: In laboratory trials, a high level Penicillium expansum, Botrytis cinerea Rhizopus stolonifer was obtained with P. agglomerans. semi‐commercial trials at 1°C in air low oxygen atmosphere, reduction blue mould 81% 100%, respectively, grey achieved equally imazalil. seven atmosphere conditions, maximum decay 80% 3% O2–6% CO2. The population apples...
The effect of time (up to 24h) and temperature (40 55°C) has been evaluated on in vitro growth Penicillium digitatum italicum potato dextrose agar plates or ‘Valencia’ oranges ( Citrus sinensis), previously inoculated with those pathogens. treatment the fruit quality parameters also evaluated. In vitro, at 40 45°C, an exposure 24h was required inhibit subsequent mycelial both pathogens during incubation for 1 week 25°C. However, 50 55°C, only 18 9h (6h P. digitatum), respectively, were...
The potential enhancement of Candida sake (CPA-1) by ammonium molybdate to control blue and gray mold caused Penicillium expansum Botrytis cinerea, respectively, on Blanquilla pears was investigated. In laboratory trials, improved molds obtained with the application (1, 5, 10, 15 mM) alone or in combination C. at 2 × 10 6 7 CFU ml -1 stored 20°C. semicommercial trials 1°C for 5 months, efficacy reducing P.

The nutritional composition and productivity of halophytes is strongly related to the biotic/abiotic stress which these extremophile salt tolerant plants are subjected during their cultivation cycle. In this study, two commercial halophyte species (Inula crithmoides Mesembryanthemum nodiflorum) were cultivated at six levels salinity using a soilless system. way, it was possible understand response mechanisms stress. relative decreased from salinities 110 200 mmol L−1 upwards for I. M....
Abstract Ammonium molybdate was tested as a potential fungicide for use in apples (cv Golden Delicious) against blue and grey mould, important post‐harvest diseases of pome fruits. In tests vivo at 20 °C, ammonium (15 m M ) reduced lesion diameters Penicillium expansum, Botrytis cinerea Rhizopus stolonifer by 84%, 88% 100% respectively. When treated with were stored 1 °C three months, significant reduction severity incidence P expansum B observed both years study (1998 1999). the second year...
Aim: To improve the efficacy of Candida sake by adding ammonium molybdate to control post‐harvest decay in Golden Delicious apples. Methods and Results: In laboratory trials, C. 2 × 106 cfu ml–1 plus 5 mmol l–1 greatly reduced Penicillium expansum, Botrytis cinerea or Rhizopus stolonifer apples stored at 20°C for 7 days, more than 90% blue grey mould 1°C 60 days. The consistency these results was maintained semi‐commercial trials air a low oxygen atmosphere 120 pre‐harvest application 107 1...
Fertilization in citrus is a cultural practice with great importance as it affects significantly the quality of fruit. In this work we evaluated effects organic versus conventional farming systems on internal and external characteristics citrus, particular emphasis vitamin C content. The study was carried out different orchards Algarve region, south Portugal. Fruits were harvested at physiological maturity submitted to physical chemical analyses. results showed that mineral fertilization led...
