“…), but also other microorganisms, enter the apple fruit mainly through bruises. These infections play a major role in the wastage of apples (Kumari et al 2018) and may spread throughout the packing box, making mechanically damaged fruit a potential source of infection throughout the value chain. Therefore, mechanically damaged apples are not suitable for storage and transport over long distances.…”

India is the fifth-largest apple producer in the world with more than 2 MT per year. Mechanical damage such as bruises of apples (Malus domestica Borkh.), which can result in considerable wastage and decline in quality, is a major problem of the apple industry. On-site investigations of apple orchard management strategies to reduce bruises in Northern India were conducted by the first author in collaboration with the University of Bonn. The apple industry including the farmers is in a continuous process of reducing losses caused by mechanical damage. Apple bruises can develop along the whole value chain. Orchard management offers countermeasures to reduce bruise susceptibility of the apples. At harvest, bruises can be caused by impact and compression forces due to unsuitable practices. This review explains the formation and development of bruises, followed by the causes of mechanical damage and orchard management measures to reduce or avoid bruises, with particular regard to India. The orchard management measures include crop load management, fruit water status and nutrient composition, maturity stage, harvest time later in the day, gentle harvest methods, packing into soft, padded bins and careful transport of the apple bins out of the orchard.

“…Labourintensive removal of such fruit could be economically feasible for organic management operations where chemicals used for disease control were less effective. In 1954 Wormald emphasized that hygiene is equally necessary during and after seasons of light infection (Kumari et al, 2018). Good hygiene can also reduce the population of insects that serve as spore vectors.…”

“…In 1796, Persoon identified a fungus observed on rotting pear, plum, and peach fruits in 1796, which was the first description of a brown rot fungus (Kumari et al, 2018). Persoon, first named it Torula fructigena, but later he modified the generic name to Monilia [Monilia fructigena].…”

Peach is a temperate fruit and is grown in various edaphoclimatic settings worldwide. Brown rot, caused primarily by Monilinia spp. is one of the most destructive peach diseases. The disease results in severe pre-harvest and post-harvest losses. More than half of the world’s post-harvest losses of peach can be attributed to brown rot disease. Despite the widespread adoption of management strategies such as pruning, removing fruit mummies, eliminating wild plums, chemical control remains an effective strategy for managing brown rot disease. However, environmental and human health impacts of chemical control and fungicides resistance consequences, these management tactics tend to be re-evaluated. The aim of this review is to comprehensively sum up the available information on the taxonomy, distribution, epidemiology, symptomology, molecular and morphological characterization of brown rot disease, and to date management approaches. However, fast paced current research on brown rot disease of peach management should be carefully updated for the full-proof control of the fungi. Nevertheless, more research and review of the information regarding various aspects of diseases management exclusively biocontrol agents are needed to exploit their actual potential, which is the salient objective of this review. This review will open new avenues giving future prospects and research agenda to the scientists working on this serious pathosystem of peach.
