“…In our experiment, the application of TIMOREX GOLD significantly reduced the Fod. TIMOREX GOLD components include cineole cymene, linalool and terpinen-4-ol (Carson et al, 2006;Goni et al, 2014;Wei et al, 2018). The plant oil and plant extracts include secondary chemical compounds such as terpenes, alcohols, aldehydes and phenols, and these materials exhibit fungicidal potential (Zanellato et al, 2009).…”

Carnation (Dianthus caryophyllus L.) is one of the most important cut flowers in the world. Some fungi, bacteria and viruses lead to diseases that affect carnation plants, and most of these severe diseases are caused by Fungi. It is considered that Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. dianthi (Fod) has induced one of the most serious and detrimental diseases that impair carnation. In this study, the effect of some biological preparations [Trichoderma harzianum Pseudomonas fluorescens; Bacillus subtilis QST 713 (SERENADE), Mycorrhiza spp., Trichoderma spp., Bacillus spp. (PANORAMIX), Lactobacillus acidophilus + Lactobacillus paracasei (VITANAL), tea tree oil extract (TIMOREX GOLD), orange oil extract (PREV-AM), plant extracts of Reynoutria spp. (REGALIA) against Fod were investigated. Experiments were performed using a randomized plots design with five replications (five pots and one plant per pot) in a growth chamber. After 30 days, carnation plants were evaluated with a scale of 0-5 values. The effect of biological preparations was calculated based on root size, root number, plant height and number of nodes, then the acquired data were evaluated. The best results were obtained with T. harzianum (96%), SERENADE (96%) and PANORAMIX (88%) against Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. dianthi. All of the control plants (+) were completely dead due to the disease. In conclusion, the biological control improves the Fusarium wilt suppression capabilities of carnation.

“…Of these, 29 were abundant, 159 are less abundant, and 3 proteins related to cell metabolism were downregulated, and 4 proteins related to stress were upregulated in fruit treated with tea tree oil. TTO application before harvest significantly reduced decay, microorganisms, delays fruit senescence, and improves the defense proteins [75]. Chitosan (CH) and carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) coatings enriched with Mentha spicata essential oil (MSO) can be utilized in food industry as suitable active packaging materials for the preservation of fresh strawberries.…”

Strawberry - Pre- And Post-Harvest Management Techniques for Higher Fruit Quality

Strawberry fruit (Fragaria × ananassa), a genus of the Rosaceae family, is the most commonly consumed berry fruit crop worldwide and is valued for its unique flavor and nutritional quality. Strawberries are expensive and filled with vitamins, fiber, and antioxidants. The susceptibility of strawberry fruit to postharvest diseases and decline of quality attributes increases after harvest and through extended storage, and as a consequence changes in physiological and biochemical parameters. Exogenous spraying, coating, or dipping was widely used to prolong the shelf life of strawberries. The temperature, atmospheric gas, and exogenous postharvest treatment (spraying, coating, or dipping) contribute to the maintenance of the fruit's postharvest quality. Previous studies examined the effects of exogenous treatments on strawberry quality. In this review, we will thus discuss the influence of postharvest treatment on strawberry postharvest shelf life and quality management during storage conditions.

“…In the case of strawberry, tea tree oil (TTO) has been tested as an antifungal agent, obtaining positive results in the decrease of the proliferation of Botrytis cinerea and Rhizopus stolonifer in strawberry, which are mainly responsible for the damage by pathogens in postharvest [72]. This same essential oil was tested as a pre-harvest treatment in strawberry, also obtaining a decrease in the impact of fungi on the fruits, although positive effects were also evidenced in parameters such as the firmness, color and quantity of polyphenols [73].…”

Strawberry - Pre- And Post-Harvest Management Techniques for Higher Fruit Quality

Strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa) is a fruit of great acceptance worldwide but has characteristics that make it a highly perishable fruit, with shelf life of about a week, which makes it difficult to transport and store it to consumer places. Throughout the years, post-harvest techniques have been studied to extend their useful life and improve their properties. Strawberry deterioration may be due to various factors such as overripe, fungal involvement, moisture loss, mechanical damage, among others. Among the techniques which have been tried to slow the deterioration of the fruit are the use of modified atmospheres and treatments gases, use of edible coatings and smart packings, application of radiation of various types, use of chemical treatments among many others. In this chapter, we will examine the most relevant treatments applied to the strawberry to extend its useful life and improve its organoleptic quality that have been reported in the literature.
