Pre harvest gray mold control and fungicide residues in the harvested strawberries [electronic resource].

Includes references.

Protective pre harvest spray of three fungicides i.e. Benlate [Methyl 1-(butyl carbamoyl)-2-benzimidazal carbamate], Prochloraz [1- N-propyl-N- (2-(2,4,6 -tri-chlorophenoxy) ethyl) carbamoyl) imidazole] and Vinchlozolin [3 . (3,5 Dichlorophenyl) 5-ethenyl-5-methyl-2,4oxazolidinedione] were applied to Strawberry (Fragaria chiloensis Duchesne var ananassa Baily) (cv. Pajaro) at 0.5, 1,2 9 I⁻¹ under either natural or artificial infection. The applied fungicides significantly reduced the level of gray mold caused by Botrytis cinerea, Excellent control was obtained with Vinchlozolin, at the rate of 2.0 9 I⁻¹ which developed 4.8% and 1.2% rot for two successive years compared with 28.5% and 16.2% in the check under artificial infection conditions.
