Postharvest diseases of pineapple.

Postharvest pineapple diseases which develop externally or internally are classified as: preflower infections by Penicillium funiculosum that begin at the floret before the flower opens and cause interfruitlet corking, leathery pocket and fruitlet core rot; flower infections beginning after the flower opens and caused by bacterial complexes including pink and marbling disease; wound infections caused most frequently by Ceratocystis paradoxa that begin in wounds caused by harvesting; and physiological disorders, the most common of which is internal browning or black heart caused by chilling injury. Ceratocystis fruit rot is controlled by fungicide applications and internal browning by postharvest wax dips. This paper was presented at the Symposium on tropical fruit in international trade held in Honolulu, Hawaii, USA, on Jun. 4-9, 1989.
