“…Weather data at the time of sample collection, as well as physical and chemical interventions at different sampling stages, are shown in Table 1. The mango trees (27) were selected in a randomised design within three blocks (nine in each block) with single trees per plot. In order to understand microbial composition at the pre-harvest stage, sampling was carried out at different stages of fruit development, namely full-bloom (whole inflorescence), small (±129.4 cm), medium (±197.2 cm) and fully developed (±271.4 cm) or mature (commercially ready to harvest) fruit for preharvest assessments.…”

“…Several studies have characterised diseases such as stem-end rot [13][14][15] and anthracnose of mango [16][17][18] at the pre-and post-harvest stage, assessed the pathogenicity of post-harvest fungal pathogens [19][20][21] and the efficacy of different post-harvest control strategies of stem-end rot [22][23][24][25] and anthracnose [26][27][28][29][30][31][32]. To date, microbial dynamics of mango fruit have only been studied at the post-harvest stage [33].…”

The influence of the development stage and post-harvest handling on the microbial composition of mango fruit plays a central role in fruit health. Hence, the composition of fungal and bacterial microbiota on the anthoplane, fructoplane, stems and stem-end pulp of mango during fruit development and post-harvest handling were determined using next-generation sequencing of the internal transcribed spacer and 16S rRNA regions. At full bloom, the inflorescence had the richest fungal and bacterial communities. The young developing fruit exhibited lower fungal richness and diversities in comparison to the intermediate and fully developed fruit stages on the fructoplane. At the post-harvest stage, lower fungal and bacterial diversities were observed following prochloraz treatment both on the fructoplane and stem-end pulp. Ascomycota (52.8%) and Basidiomycota (43.2%) were the most dominant fungal phyla, while Penicillium, Botryosphaeria, Alternaria and Mucor were detected as the known post-harvest decay-causing fungal genera. The Cyanobacteria (35.6%), Firmicutes (26.1%) and Proteobacteria (23.1%) were the most dominant bacterial phyla. Changes in the presence of Bacillus subtilis following post-harvest interventions such as prochloraz suggested a non-target effect of the fungicide. The present study, therefore, provides the primary baseline data on mango fungal and bacterial diversity and composition, which can be foundational in the development of effective disease (stem-end rot) management strategies.

“…Organic management practices are beneficial as they are eco-friendly, reduce the risk of chemical residues in the fruit, and are sustainable (Swart, 2010). Some organic materials that can be used to manage fungal pathogens associated with mango diseases include Neem oil which is derived from the neem tree and has antifungal properties (Senghor et al, 2007). It can be applied as a foliar spray to control powdery mildew and anthracnose in mangoes.…”

Mango (Mangifera indica) is one of the most economically important tropical fruits, but it is susceptible to various fungal pathogens that cause significant yield losses and reduce fruit quality. Traditional management strategies for these fungal diseases often involve the use of synthetic fungicides, which can have adverse effects on the environment and human health. Therefore, there is a growing need to explore sustainable and organic alternatives for managing these pathogens. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of organic materials in controlling fungal pathogens associated with mango diseases. Various organic materials of different plant extracts were tested against common fungal pathogens. The results of the study demonstrated the potential of organic materials in managing mango fungal diseases. Plant extracts derived from neem (Azadirachta indica), garlic (Allium sativum), and ginger (Zingiber officinale) exhibited strong antifungal activity against the tested pathogens. Overall, the findings of this study suggest that organic materials can be effective tools for managing fungal pathogens associated with mango diseases. Incorporating these organic management strategies into mango production systems can contribute to sustainable agriculture practices, reduce chemical inputs, and promote the production of high-quality, disease-free mangoes.

Thirty-one endophytic bacteria isolated from healthy leaves of Centella asiatica were screened in vitro for their ability to reduce the growth rate and disease incidence of Colletotrichum higginsianum, a causal agent of anthracnose. Isolates of Cohnella sp., Paenibacillus sp. and Pantoea sp. significantly stimulated the growth rate of C. higginsianum MUCL 44942, while isolates of Achromobacter sp., Acinetobacter sp., Microbacterium sp., Klebsiella sp. and Pseudomonas putida had no influence on this plant pathogen. By contrast, Bacillus subtilis BCA31 and Pseudomonas fluorescens BCA08 caused a marked inhibition of C. higginsianum MUCL 44942 growth by 46 and 82 %, respectively. Cell-free culture filtrates of B. subtilis BCA31 and P. fluorescens BCA08 were found to contain antifungal compounds against C. higginsianum MUCL 44942. Inoculation assays on in vitro-cultured plants of C. asiatica showed that foliar application of B. subtilis BCA31, three days before inoculation with C. higginsianum MUCL 44942, significantly reduced incidence and severity of the disease. The role of endophytic bacteria in maintaining the apparent inactivity of C. higginsianum MUCL 44942 in C. asiatica grown in the wild is discussed.
