Control of Citrus Postharvest Diseases by Physical Means
Economic losses due to fungal postharvest diseases are among the most important concerns of the citrus industry worldwide. Typically, these diseases have been successfully controlled by the application of synthetic chemical fungicides. However, human health risks and environmental contamination associated with chemical residues and the proliferation of resistant strains of the pathogens are maj...
متن کاملIntegrated Approaches to Postharvest Disease Management in California Citrus Packinghouses
Practices in the citrus industry evolve rapidly to minimize postharvest decay losses, mostly a result of green mold or blue mold, caused by Penicillium digitatum or P. italicum, respectively. Current problems include the continued development of fungicide resistance among these pathogens, and compliance with emerging secondary residue standards and other privatized regulation of production and ...
متن کاملControl of postharvest decay of citrus fruit with calcium polysulfide
Incidence of green mold of citrus, caused by Penicillium digitatum, was reduced by 80% or more by the immersion of lemons or oranges for 1–4 min in warm (40.6–43.3°C) ‘liquid lime-sulfur’ (LLS) solution that contained 0.75% (wt vol) calcium polysulfide. The incidence of sour rot, caused by Geotrichum citri-aurantii, was reduced 35–70% by this treatment. LLS was similar in effectiveness to other...
متن کاملBiological control of postharvest diseases of fruits.
Losses from postharvest fruit diseases range from 1 to 20 percent in the United States, depending on the commodity. The application of fungicides to fruits after harvest to reduce decay has been increasingly curtailed by the development of pathogen resistance to many key fungicides, the lack of replacement fungicides, negative public perception regarding the safety of pesticides and consequent ...
متن کاملNon-polluting Automobiles
The advantages/disadvantages of energy storage devices, which can provide nonpolluting automobile systems are discussed. Four types of storage devices are identified: electro-chemical (batteries) hydrogen electro-mechanical (flywheels) Molten salt heat storage A high speed flywheel with a small permanent magnet motor/generator has more advantages than any of the other systems and might become a...
