ABSTRACT
Penicillium fruit rot (Penicillium funiculosum) of aonla found predominant in orchards and markets causing substantial yield losses. The studies conducted on eco-friendly management of Penicillium fruit rot of aonla with hot water treatments and the significantly lowest fruit rot was recorded in the fruits exposed to hot water treatment at 550 C for 10 min. (10.75 & 21.32 %) followed by 550 C for 5 min. (11.88 & 23.35 %) on 4th and 7th day of inoculation, respectively. A total of nine oils (5 %) screened against fruit rot, significantly lowest fruit rot severity was recorded in fruits coated with neem oil (25.42 & 24.88 %) and it was at par with lemon grass oil (26.72 & 25.99 %) at 7th days after inoculation both in pre- and post- inoculation treatments, respectively.
Key words :
Aonla, Fruit rot, Hot water treatment, Penicillium funiculosum, Pre-inoculation, Post-inoculation, Vegetable oils.
