Efficacy of CaCl2 against some important postharvest fungi on orange, chilli and Cavendish banana fruits

Abstract: Fruit rot caused by Aspergillus niger or Colletotrichum musae is an important post-harvest disease on orange, chilli and Cavendish banana fruits. The use of synthetic fungicides has been a traditional strategy for the management of the fruit rot disease, but these chemicals adversely affect human health and environment. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of CaCl2 on in vitro hyphal growth and in vivo lesion inhibition. First, aqueous solutions of CaCl2 at three concentrations of… Show more

“…Chloride in calcium helps to maintain the rigidity and turgidity of the cell wall and ultimately delay ripening (Chaplin and Scott, 1980), which could be the reason for the longest disease infestation days. CaCl2 acts as an inhibitor for the growth of various fungi, which could be the reason for the longest disease infestation days for calcium-treated fruits (Le et al, 2018). An experiment conducted by Mazumder et al (2021) showed that CaCl2 helps in reducing ripening days as well as controlling different fungal diseases.…”

“…Lack of proper information about post-harvest treatment, packaging materials, storage, and transportation of tomatoes causes significant loss in post-harvest life as well as quality. Many physiological changes AgroEnvironmental Sustainability sagens.org/journal/agens [134] such as an increase in respiration, transpiration, reducing sugar content, conversion of organic acids to sugars, decrease in pectin content, etc., are observed in tomatoes after harvesting, resulting in short shelf life (Le et al, 2018). Similarly, the production of ethylene in tomatoes continues even after harvesting, which induces further ripening and the tomato starts to deteriorate (Sammi and Masud, 2009).…”
