The use of hydrogen peroxide to control postharvest decay on 'Galia' melons.

ABSTRACT

Sanosol-25, a disinfectant containing 48% hydrogen peroxide and silver salts as stabilizing agents, inhibited the mycelial growth of the 2 main melon decay fungi, Alternaria alternata and Fusarium solani in vitro at concn between 5000 and 10 000 micro l/litre. However, in in vivo experiments, Sanosil-25 markedly decreased decay at a concn of 5000 micro l/litre when incorporated into a wax treatment and produced no phytotoxic effect. It is concluded that this treatment may provide an alternative to imazalil which, although more effective, gives problems with residue levels. A concn of 10 000 micro l/litre was phytotoxic.
