Post harvest diseases of fruits in Peshawar market. Rot of banana fruit.

A survey was conducted during Nov. 1989 in Peshawar, Pakistan, to determine the causes of market rot of banana (samples were taken of fresh bananas immediately prior to storage, after 5-d storage at 4 deg C, RH 85%, from the retail stalls and after 24 h with the retailer). Fusarium sp. was isolated from all non-sterilized samples, and Alternaria sp. and Mucor sp. from non-sterilized fruits after storage. After surface sterilization, only Fusarium was isolated, and it is suggested that this fungus is the cause of the rot. Infection occurred during storage and frequency increased thereafter (to 70% in bananas obtained 24 h after purchase by the retailer).
