Fungicides for the control of blue mould ( Penicillium spp.) in pome fruits

Blue mould due to P. expansum and P. verrucosum causes major losses of stored pome fruits. Widespread resistance to the benzimidazole fungicides has necessitated finding a replacement fungicide. Of a number of fungicides tested against P. expansum and P. verrucosum on apples and pears, prochloraz 50...

Summary:Blue mould due to P. expansum and P. verrucosum causes major losses of stored pome fruits. Widespread resistance to the benzimidazole fungicides has necessitated finding a replacement fungicide. Of a number of fungicides tested against P. expansum and P. verrucosum on apples and pears, prochloraz 500 mg l −1 dip shows most promise as a commercially suitable fungicide, during both cold storage and subsequent shelf storage.
