Cultural, Chemical, and Alternative Control Strategies for Rhizopus Soft Rot of Sweetpotato [PDF]
Plant Disease, 2016 Rhizopus soft rot, caused primarily by Rhizopus stolonifer, is one of the most common postharvest diseases of sweetpotato and is often considered the most devastating. Traditionally, Rhizopus soft rot has been effectively controlled using postharvest dips in dicloran fungicides; however, due to changes in market preferences, use of these fungicides is ...

Chemical characterization of Lippia alba essential oil: an alternative to control green molds [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Microbiology, 2011 The essential oil of Lippia alba is reported as an antifungal against human pathogenic microorganisms but few articles report its use as an alternative to synthetic fungicides on green mould control. The objective of this study was to determine chemical characteristics of L.

Mulching as Alternative to Chemical Weed Control in Nursery Conteinerized Crops
Advances in horticultural science, 2009 Weed control effectiveness of five mulching materials was determined in three container-grown ornamental crops (Photinia xfraseri 'Red Robin',Prunus laurocerasus 'Rotundifolia' and Thujaplicata 'Atrovirens'). Mulches tested were: AW-Disk® (a by-product of coconut); Basotop® (made of almond drupe shells without glue); two other materials made of vegetal

Antagonistic Yeasts: A Promising Alternative to Chemical Fungicides for Controlling Postharvest Decay of Fruit [PDF]
Journal of Fungi, 2020 Fruit plays an important role in human diet. Whereas, fungal pathogens cause huge losses of fruit during storage and transportation, abuse of chemical fungicides leads to serious environmental pollution and endangers human health. Antagonistic yeasts (also known as biocontrol yeasts) are promising substitutes for chemical fungicides in the control of ...
