Aspergillus niger and Penicillium chrysogenum followed by Acremonium kiliense and Fusarium oxysporum were the most pathogenic fungi causing garlic rots during storage. Chinese and American garlic varieties were the least susceptible to the dominant pathogens when compared with the Balady garlic variety. Mature garlic cloves showed an obvious degree of resistance to the major garlic rot, whereas the immature cloves were highly susceptible. Perforated paper bags and carton boxes were better for storage compared with nonperforated ones, plastic nets or jute sacks. Storage temp. had to be <20 deg C and RH <80%. Prochloraz, thiabendazole (as Tecto) and CGA 64251 plus wax, each at 2000 micro g/ml, were the most effective in checking rots when applied as postharvest fungicides after curing and before storage.
