The effect of mechanical injury and thiophanate-methyl treatment on the shelf life of satsuma fruits was studied. The different treatments had no significant effect on fruit weight loss during storage or juice sugar and citric acid contents. A pre-harvest fungicide spray was more effective than a postharvest dip in reducing the incidence of storage rot. The principle pathogen was Penicillium italicum which accounted for 20.7% of fruit rots. The remainder was caused by P. digitatum, Alternaria citri, Geotrichum candidum, Diaporthe citri and Phoma citricarpa [Guignardia citricarpa]. The incidence of storage rot in wounded fruits was very high at 63.5%.
