ABSTRACT :
A total of 17 pathogens associated with postharvest spoilage of mangoes was identified during surveys conducted in Himachal Pradesh, India, in 1990-92. Botryodiplodia theobromae and Colletotrichum gloeosporioides [Glomerella cingulata], causal agents of stem end rot and anthracnose, were responsible for 26.7 and 29.6% of decay, respectively. Carbendazim (as Bavistin 50 WP), sodium orthophenylphenate (as SOPP), potassium metabisulfite (as KMS), mancozeb (as Indofil M-45), carboxin (as Vitavax), dodine (as Scabicide 50% flowable) iprodione (as Rovral) and thiabendazole (as Mertect) were also evaluated for control of B. theobromae and G. cingulata on mango cv. Dashehari. Thiabendazole (0.1%) was the most effective fungicide for the control of G. cingulata, giving a reduction in decay index of 95.7%, but was less effective against B. theobromae than 0.1% carbendazim dip treatment which resulted in reduction in decay indices of 93.8 and 90.7% for each pathogen, respectively.
