Incidence and Etiology of Postharvest Fungal Diseases Associated with Bulb Rot in Garlic (Alllium sativum) in Spain

Abstract: In recent years, different postharvest alterations have been detected in garlic. In many cases, the symptoms are not well defined, or the etiology is unknown, which further complicates the selection of bulbs during postharvest handling. To characterize the different symptoms of bulb rot caused by fungi, garlic bulb samples were collected from six Spanish provinces in two consecutive years. Eight different fungal species were identified. The most prevalent postharvest disease was Fusarium dry rot (56.1%), which… Show more

“…In all cases, F. proliferatum has been the predominant Fusarium species associated with dry rot. FDR is the most frequently detected postharvest disease in Spain, found in up to 50% of the samples analyzed [9], coinciding with the results of Chrétien et al [2] in France, who observed 55% of the peeled cloves with typical Fusarium symptoms. In Italy, FDR was observed in 71.4% at harvest and 82.1% during postharvest storage [16].…”

“…Fusarium culmorum [23] and F. verticillioides [35] have rarely been isolated [16]. In Spain, Gálvez and Palmero [9] reported isolation percentages of F. proliferatum over 80%, agreeing with Chrétien et al [2] in France. In all cases, F. proliferatum has been the predominant Fusarium species associated with dry rot.…”

“…At present, owing to the lack of automatic equipment, garlic root cutting is mainly completed by manual operation, which has low production efficiency and makes it easy to cut bulbs, resulting in pathogen invasion and food safety problems [ 8 , 9 , 10 ]. The cut bulbs are susceptible to infection by pathogenic bacteria, which produce highly toxic mycotoxins that have a negative impact on human health [ 11 ]. To improve production efficiency and control food safety, there is an urgent need to automate garlic treatment.…”
