“…Brown rot, caused by Monilinia fructicola (Wint.) Honey, can lead to significant fruit losses, starting with blossom blight in spring, followed by fruit rots at harvest (Tate and Seelye 1977;Elmer 1990). Although the level of rots occurring in the field before harvest may be quite low, losses in storage can be high, eventually infecting a high proportion of fruit especially where there has been no fungicide programme in the field.…”

The effects of sulphur and copper on postharvest brown rot (Monilinia fructicola (Wint.) Honey) were studied for six years in a Bio-Gro registered apricot block at Clyde Research Centre, Central Otago. Four treatments of sulphur and/or copper were applied up to 9 times between flowering and harvest. Brown rot levels were high in seasons with a high rainfall from November to January (harvest). Sulphur (Kumulus DF) at either 120 or 160 g ai/100 litres or at 80 g with copper (Kocide DF) at 10 g ai/100 litres reduced brown rot levels in cvs Sundrop and CluthaGold. Seven organically acceptable alternatives to sulphur were also tested but none were more effective. However, alternatives to sulphur are needed for use close to harvest, to reduce both visible residues and the possible negative effect of sulphur on return bloom.
