Of 7 postharvest apricot diseases recorded (caused by Rhizopus stolonifer, Penicillium expansum, Aspergillus niger, Alternaria alternata, Trichothecium roseum, Aspergillus flavus and Cladosporium herbarum) causing heavy losses during storage and marketing in Solan and Rajgarh, Himachal Pradesh, India, whiskers rot (R. stolonifer) was the most prevalent and severe. Storage of apricots at 5 deg C reduced losses due to fungal pathogens. At this temp. only P. expansum could infect the fruit. Six fungicides (benomyl, carbendazim, dicloran, diphenylamine, sodium o-phenylphenate and thiabendazole) were applied as post-inoculation dip treatments to control R. stolonifer. Only dicloran provided complete control.
