Nine different plant extracts and three yeast antagonists were compared for their efficacy as post-harvest dip against the development of scab (Venturia inaequalis) lesions and rots on apple fruits during storage for 60 days at ambient conditions. Studies revealed that water extract of Emblica officinalis leaves (15%) was highly effective against storage scab and provided complete control up to 60 days of storage. However, water extracts of Artemisia vulgaris, Melia dubia leaves and Emblica [Phyllanthus] officinalis seeds at 15% were not effective against storage scab, but effectively controlled fruit rotting with a decay reduction index (DRI) of 85.7, 80.9 and 70.8%, respectively, after 60 days of storage. A yeast antagonist, Rhodosporidium toruloides (1.0 x 105 cells/ml) was also effective in controlling storage fruit rot and gave a DRI of 74.1%.
