‘Italia’ grape is one of the most important table grape cultivars grown worldwide. Gray mold, caused by Botrytis cinerea Pers. Fr., is one of the most important causes of postharvest decay of table grapes, and the control of this disease is very difficult because postharvest treatments with synthetic fungicides are not allowed in many countries. The objective of this study was to compare different types of pads releasing different doses of SO2 during cold storage to control gray mold in ‘Italia’ table grapes grown under subtropical conditions. Grape bunches were harvested from a commercial field trained on an overhead trellis located at Cambira, state of Parana (PR), South Brazil. The grapes were packed into carton boxes (capacity, 4.5 kg) and subjected to the following SO2 pad treatments (Uvasys®, Cape Town, South Africa) under cold storage (1.0 ± 1 °C) for 50 days: (i) Control; (ii) SO2 slow release pad; (iii) SO2 dual release pad; (iv) SO2 dual release–fast reduced pad; (v) SO2 slow release pad with grapes inoculated with B. cinerea suspension; (vi) SO2 dual release pad with grapes inoculated with B. cinerea suspension; and (vii) SO2 dual release-fast reduced pad with grapes inoculated with B. cinerea suspension. After cold storage, the grape boxes were maintained for 7 days at room temperature (25 °C). The incidence of gray mold on the grapes, firmness, shattered berries, stem browning, as well as other physicochemical variables, such as bunch mass, bunch mass loss, skin color, soluble solids (SS), titratable acidity (TA) and SS/TA were evaluated. Both SO2 dual release pads were highly efficient in preventing the incidence of gray mold in ‘Italia’ grapes packed in clamshells during the 50-day period of cold storage and at room temperature, even with Botrytis-inoculated berries. The SO2 slow release pad showed lower efficiency, but was higher than the control. The SO2 dual release pad treatments provided the best results with respect to stem browning scores (fresh and green stems) during cold storage, and no differences were observed among the treatments with respect to the other physicochemical evaluations.

Yield losses above 40% have been recorded for susceptible and intermediate genotypes in different countries, including Brazil. This study was developed with the aim of monitoring the major sugar cane genotypes grown in Brazil under high inoculum pressure for the occurrence and the development of orange rust. The experiment was conducted in an experimental field of Univalem Plant, Group "Raizen S.A.", located in Valparaiso (São Paulo State). The adopted experimental design was in randomized blocks with 38 treatments (genotypes) and four replicates. Each plot consisted of three lines of five meters, spaced 1.4 m apart.

BRS Vitoria' (Vitis spp.) is a novel hybrid seedless table grape recommended for cultivation in tropical and subtropical areas, especially for overseas export. The main postharvest disease of this cultivar is botrytis or gray mold (Botrytis cinerea), which occurs even under low temperatures in cold chambers. Sulfur dioxide (SO 2 ) release pads have been used to control this disease under cold storage, but some grape cultivars are sensitive to certain levels of this compound. The objective of this work was to evaluate different types of SO 2 generator pads in order to prevent the incidence of gray mold of 'BRS Vitoria' seedless grape, as well to avoid other grape injuries during cold storage. Grape bunches were harvested when fully ripened (16 • Brix) from a commercial field trained on overhead trellis and located at Marialva, state of Parana (PR) (South Brazil). Grapes were packed into carton boxes and subjected to the following SO 2 pad treatments (Uvasys ® , Cape Town, South Africa) in a cold chamber (2 • C): (a) control; (b) SO 2 slow release pad; (c) SO 2 dual release pad; (d) SO 2 dual release-fast reduced pad; (e) SO 2 slow release pad with grapes inoculated with B. cinerea; (f) SO 2 dual release pad with grapes inoculated with B. cinerea; and (g) SO 2 dual release-fast reduced pad with grapes inoculated with B. cinerea. After a 50-day cold chamber period, the grape boxes were kept for 7 days at room temperature at 25 • C. A randomized design was used with seven treatments and four replications, with five bunches per plot. The incidence of gray mold on grapes was evaluated after the 50-day cold storage and after the 7-days-at-room-temperature periods, as well other grape physicochemical variables, such as shattered berries, stem browning, bunch mass, bunch mass loss, skin color, soluble solids (SS), titratable acidity (TA), and SS/TA. The dual release pads were more efficient in preventing the incidence of gray mold and mass loss in 'BRS Vitoria' seedless grapes than the slow release pads in both storage periods. The incidence of shattered berries was lower when any type SO 2 pad was used during cold storage, and no effects were observed on stem browning, firmness, or berry skin color of 'BRS Vitoria' grapes.Horticulturae 2018, 4, 17 2 of 11 excellent flavor and firmness, this cultivar is a good option not only for the internal market, but also for export [1]. Therefore, it is necessary to develop techniques that allow postharvest conservation of this grape in cold storage for long periods.The fungus Botrytis cinerea, which causes gray mold, is considered one of the most damaging postharvest pathogens to the quality of table grapes during storage and transport over long distances. The control of this fungus is particularly important during refrigerated storage, as it also develops at low temperatures (−0.5 • C) and spreads rapidly through the berry clusters [2][3][4].Sulfur dioxide (SO 2 ) is the main fungicide treatment used to retard the growth of this fungus in refrigerated chambers, and the purpose of i...

‘BRS Isis’ is a new hybrid seedless table grape tolerant to downy mildew with a good adaptation to the tropical and subtropical climates. Gray mold, caused by Botrytis cinerea Pers. ex Fr. is known as the most important postharvest mold in table grapes, causing extensive losses worldwide. As the postharvest behavior of ‘BRS Isis’ is still unknown, the objective of this work was to evaluate the postharvest preservation and B. cinerea mold control of this new grape cultivar, grown under the double-cropping a year system. Grape bunches were purchased from a field of ‘BRS Isis’ seedless table grapes trained on overhead trellises located at Marialva, state of Parana (South Brazil). Grapes were subjected to the following treatments in a cold room at 1 ± 1°C: (i) Control; (ii) SO2-generating pad; (iii) control with bunches inoculated with the pathogen suspension; (iv) SO2-generating pad with bunches inoculated with the pathogen suspension. The completely randomized experimental design was used with four treatments, each including five replicates. The incidence of gray mold and other physicochemical variables, including bunch mass loss, shattered berries, skin color index, soluble solids (SS), titratable acidity (TA), and SS/TA ratio of grapes, were evaluated at 50 days after the beginning of cold storage and at seven days at room temperature (22 ± 2°C). The ‘BRS Isis’ seedless grape, packaged with SO2-generating pads and plastic liners, has a high potential to be preserved for long periods under cold storage, at least for 50 days, keeping very low natural incidence of gray mold, mass loss, and shattered berries.
