“…Some researchers have used fungicides to prevent postharvest rot by spraying them on the strawberries several times. However, the presence of residues limits the broad use of fungicides [4]. Controlling CO 2 and O 2 levels can also reduce the incidence of strawberry decay.…”

Strawberry packaging based on four different chitosan-poly(vinylalcohol) blend films with chitosan contents of 0 wt %, 20 wt %, 25 wt %, and 30 wt % was tested. The samples were stored at 18 ± 2 • C and 60% ± 5% relative humidity for six days. Strawberry quality was evaluated during and after storage. Strawberries packaged using these films showed significant differences in weight loss and firmness, decay percentage, titratable acidity, total soluble solids, and ascorbic acid content when compared to non-packaged strawberries. The 25 wt % bilayer film showed the best performance in terms of delaying changes in strawberries. The findings suggest that these 25 wt % chitosan films can used to extend strawberry shelf lives while maintaining quality levels.

“…The induction of host defense responses by several alternative approaches, including antagonists Hershkovitz et al, 2012), natural compounds (e.g. chitosan) Feliziani et al, 2015), and heat (Spadoni et al, 2014(Spadoni et al, , 2015 have all been reported. A greater understanding of the role of abiotic stress in biocontrol systems has also been developed (Sui et al, 2015).…”

“…Drawing the similarities with bacteria, they are characterized with a mucilaginous or gelatinous sheath composed of polysaccharides which are the weapon against fungal pathogenesis. Cyanobacterial polysaccharides (POL) show higher disease resistance against B. cinerea when they are applied on the intact fruit (preharvest conditions when fruit is attached to the plant) rather than the fruit detached (postharvest conditions) from the plant (Zheng et al 2011;Feliziani et al 2015;Yao and Tian 2005). Polysaccharides are involved in elicitation as elicitors for development of local and systemic disease resistance and expression of defense enzyme synthesis, for example, chitinases and glucanases that are involved directly in antifungal responses (Paulert et al 2009;Reymond and Farmer 1998;Sharma et al 2014 (Roberti et al 2015(Roberti et al , 2016.…”

Seeking solutions from nature for solving one and all problems is the age-old practice for mankind, and natural products are proved to be the most effective one for keeping up the balance of development as well as the "healthy, wealthy, and well" condition of mother nature. Fungal pathogens are proved to be a common and popular contaminant of agroecosystem that approximately causes 70-80% of total microbial crop loss. To meet the proper global increasing need of food products as a result of population explosion, managing agricultural system in an eco-friendly and profitable manner is the prime target; thus the word "sustainable agriculture" plays it part, and this package is highly effective when coupled with nature-derived fungicidal products that can minimize the event of fungal infections in agrarian ecosystem. Present study enlists the most common and effective natural products that might be of plant or microbial origin, their mode of action, day-by-day development of phytopathogenic resistance against the prevailing fungicides, and also their role in maintenance of sustainability of agricultural practices with special emphasis on their acceptance over the synthetic or chemical one. A large number of bioactive compounds ranging from direct plant (both cryptogams algae and moss and phanerogams)-derived natural extracts, essential oil of aromatic plants, and low-molecular-weight antimicrobial compounds known as phytoalexins to secondary metabolites that are both volatile and nonvolatile organic compounds of microbes (fungal and actinobacterial members) residing inside the host tissue, called endophyte, are widely used as agricultural bioweapons. The rhizospheric partners of plant, mycorrhizae, are also a prime agent of this chemical warfare and protect their green partners from fungal invaders and emphasize the concept of "sustainable agriculture." 132
