Resumen
Descripción
The reduction in the percentages of citrus fruit with symptoms of the main postharvest decay organisms may be achieved via fungicide spray treatments in packinghouse procedures. However, one of the limitations for a successful control is the reduced number of molecules registered for postharvest use in most countries that are frontrunners in citrus production and export. Moreover, upsurges of resistant pathogen strains of postharvest pathogens point towards the need of effective control measures not only after harvest but also along the production periods. For those reasons, the conscientious use of chemical control to reduce the incidence of pathogens is imperative.
