Control of brown rot and transit rot of peaches with post-harvest fungicidal dips

Abstract

In 17 trials conducted between 1972 and 1977 in the Grnnite Belt fruit growing area near Stanthorpe in south-eastern Queensland, benomyl, carbendazim, iprodione, triforine and A6770 were the most effective of the fungicides applied as post-harvest dips for the control of brown rot (Monilinia fructicola) of peaches. Transit rot (Rhizopus stolonifer) was contrGlled by dicloran, A6770 and to a lesser extent iprodione.
