Mandarin, orange, grapefruit and lemon fruits untreated before harvest and at packing were stored at ambient temp. for 2 months or kept for 2 or 4 months in cold storage. During storage, 16.8, 25.1 and 65.4% crop losses caused by postharvest diseases were observed under the 3 storage conditions tested, respectively. In another experiment, citrus trees were sprayed with benomyl, fosetyl-aluminium and CuSO4.5H2O + ZnSO4.6H2O + hydrated lime to control postharvest diseases 1-1.5 months before harvest. In addition, adding fosetyl-aluminium, sodium o-phenylphenate, 2,4-D isopropyl-ester to water and spraying benomyl and imazalil to water-wax were tested for control of postharvest diseases during packing. Some lemon fruits were wrapped in biphenyl-emitting paper. A combination of preharvest fungicide treatments with treatment during packing gave the best disease control.
