The effect of three treatments on quality change, and the type and quantity of microorganisms present in stored Chinese chestnuts was studied. Results showed that under cold storage (0-2 deg C), total losses in chestnut packed in a plastic bags within gunny-bag with holes was the lowest while that of chestnut packed in only a gunny-bag was the highest. The highest weight loss was observed during the first and second month of storage. Chestnut rot was caused by Phomopsis sp., Fusicoccum sp., Colletotrichum sp., Mucor sp., etc. Notable changes were observed on the types and quantities of fungi in different periods. The test of preventing fungi with fungicide and k1 indicated that chlorothalonil had no effect on the fungi, while carbendazim and K1 with higher density had a strong effect on them.
