“…The disease severity index of grey mould on the tomato fruits was rated on a scale of 0-5 (0 = no disease symptom, 1 = decay up to 0.5 cm in diameter without sporulation, 2 = decay between 0.5 and 1.0 cm in diameter with sporulation beginning, 3 = decay between 1.0 and 2.5 cm in diameter with sporulation, 4 = decay between 2.5 and 4.0 cm in diameter with sporulation and mycelium, and 5 = fruit completely rotten and heavily covered with mycelium) as the percentage of diseased fruit area (ARO, 1993;Oladiran and Iwu, 1993;Soylu et al, 2010). Disease severity (DS) was calculated according to the formula given by Tariq et al (1998): DS% = (number of fruits in that rating × severity rating)/(total number of fruits assessed × highest scale) × 100;…”

“…Korea (Park, 1961;Song, 1997;Hyun, 2002). However, it has been known to have ability to infect several postharvest plants, such as citrus fruit (Suprapta et al, 1995;Butler et al, 1988), peach (Crisosto et al, 2004Wells, 1977), tomato (Oladiran et al, 1993), apple, pear, egg plant, carrot, cucumber, guava, melon, papaya, pumpkin, sponge gourd and turnip (Fatima et al, 2009;Saude et al, 2005) throughout whole countries. This is first report of sour rot on vegetables like oriental melon, tomato, cherry tomato, cucumber, potato, pumpkin and carrot caused by G. candidum.…”

During survey of postharvest diseases of vegetables in the middle region of Korea in 2003Korea in , 2004Korea in and 2005, new disease symptoms showing watery rot and soft rot were observed. In this study, the disease causal agents were identified as Geotrichum candidum, and their host range and pathogenicity were investigated. G. candidum isolated had wide host range and strong pathogenicity against carrot, cucumber, tomato and pumpkin. The disease occurrence on several vegetables that G. candidum can be a serious threat to stable production of fresh vegetable.

Abstract-A study was conducted to study the Influence of salt solution and soil interspace on the total fungal counts of stored tomatoes in Cooling Structures. Three sets of four different types of passive evaporative cooling structures made of clay and aluminium. One set consists of four separate cooling chambers. Two cooling chambers were made with aluminium container (cylindrical and rectangular shapes) and the other two were made of clay container (cylindrical and rectangular). These four containers were separately inserted inside a bigger clays pot and inter-spaced with clay soil of 5 cm with the outside structure wrapped with jute sack. The other two sets followed the same pattern with interspacing of 7 cm and 10 cm respectively. The set with 7 cm interspace served as the control in which the interspace soil and the jute sack were wetted with water at room temperature. The other two sets were wetted with table salt solution. The fungal counts on the stored tomatoes were determined at interval for a period of sixteen days. The effects of the fungal counts on the weight and nutritional values of the produce were determined using ANOVA. Further analysis by DNMRT was carried out to compare the means. The total fungal counts of 13.7, 13.6, 13.0, 11.8 and 10.8 ppm were recorded for the tomatoes stored in 5 cm soil inter space while the total fungal counts of 13.7, 13.8, 12.7, 12.5 and 11.5 ppm were recorded in 7 cm soil interspace.while 14.3, 14.4, 13.4, 12.9 and 12.1 ppm were recorded in the 10 cm soil interspace.
