Abstract
Waxing of citrus fruit reduced mold rots caused by Pencillium digitatum and P. italicum and increased stem-end rots and internal core rot caused by Alternaria citri, Diplodia natalensis, and Fusarium spp. Different commercial waxes tested increased, to different degrees, stem-end rot and internal core rot of the fruit.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
