“…Salicylic acid significantly reduced fruit decay of stored mandarins and sweet oranges due to enhancing the activity of antioxidant enzymes and improving resistance to fungal attack, the accumulation of H 2 O 2 and defense-related metabolites like ornithine, threonine and polymethoxylated flavones [18], and the anti-senescent effect that maintains fruit firmness, which eventually reduced microbial attack [19]. Pre-harvest treatment of salicylic acid reduced post-harvest chilling injury and fungal diseases in melon [87], mango [88], and apple [63]. On the other hand, putrescine reduced ABA concentration and fruit senescence [29], and led to increased fruit firmness and reduced post-harvest mechanical damages and decay in lemon [28].…”

Natural products have been used to improve citrus fruit quality and storability, which increase the fruit marketing period and exportation to distant markets. This study was conducted to evaluate the role of salicylic acid and putrescine on reducing post-harvest loss and maintaining the quality of stored Murcott mandarin. Fruit were harvested at 297–300 days from full bloom, and five 5-min dipping treatments were applied; salicylic acid (200 and 400 ppm), putrescine (50 and 100 ppm), and the control. One group of fruit was stored at 5 ± 1 °C and 90–95% relative humidity (RH), and the other group was stored at 23 ± 1 °C and 60–70% RH for 45 days. Quality attributes were recorded at harvest, 15, 30, and 45 days of storage. Weight loss and decay were significantly decreased with the application of salicylic acid and putrescine. Both materials were also effective maintaining fruit firmness, total soluble solids (TSS), acidity, TSS: acid ratio, and ascorbic acid during storage. Salicylic acid, especially at 400 ppm was more effective to reduce weight loss and decay, and to maintain fruit quality in comparison to putrescine treatments. It could be concluded that salicylic acid and putrescine are effectively delaying post-harvest deterioration rate and extending the storage period of Murcott mandarin fruit with acceptable quality.

Combining Biocontrol Agents with Chemical Fungicides for Integrated Plant Fungal Disease Control

et al. 2020

Feeding a rising population of currently 7.8 billion people globally requires efficient agriculture, which is preferably sustainable. Today, farmers are largely dependent on synthetic fungicides to avoid food losses caused by fungal diseases. However, the extensive use of these has resulted in the emergence of fungicide-resistant pathogens and concerns have been raised over the residual effects on the environment and human health. In this regard, biocontrol agents (BCAs) have been proposed as an alternative to standard fungicides but their disease management capacity is usually incomplete and heavily relies on uncontrollable environmental conditions. An integrated approach combining BCAs with fungicides, which is the focus of this review, is put forward as a way to reduce the fungicide doses to manage plant diseases and thereby their residue on harvested crops. In addition, such a strategy of combining antifungal treatments with different modes of action reduces the selection pressure on pathogens and thereby the chances of resistance development. However, to allow its large-scale implementation, further knowledge is needed, comprising timing, number and interval of repeated BCA applications and their compatibility with fungicides. The compatibility of BCAs with fungicides might differ when applied in a mixture or when used in alternation.

“…Pre-harvest SA application has enhanced resistance in mango (Zainuri et al, 2001) and cherry (Yao & Tian, 2005). Bion ® has shown a good potential of eliciting resistance to postharvest diseases in melon (Huang et al, 2000) and peach (Liu et al, 2005).…”

Developing banana fruits cv. 'Embul' were treated in the field with chemical elicitors, Bion ® , salicylic acid (SA) or K 2 HPO 4 at two stages, 2 and 4 or 9 and 11 weeks after bunch emergence. Fruits harvested 14-15 weeks after bunch emergence were inoculated with Colletotrichum musae, and the development of anthracnose was assessed during ripening. Treatment with Bion ® or SA at 9 and 11 weeks after bunch emergence while delaying the disease incidence significantly reduced (p < 0.05) the severity of the disease by 43 % and 65 %, respectively compared to the control. SA (500 mg/L) treatment was 22 % more effective than Bion ® (200 mg/L) while the treatment with K 2 HPO 4 (20 mg/L) increased the disease severity by 5 %. Bion ® or SA-treated fruits when challenge inoculated with C. musae after harvest showed a significantly enhanced chitinase activity (p < 0.05). There was also an increased β-1,3-glucanase activity and antifungal activity of the fruit peel compared to the controls. The elicitor treatment did not affect the fruit weight or postharvest quality.
