1 POST HARVEST FUNGAL SPOILAGE IN LOCAL MARKETS OF PUNJAB

2 Introduction Mango is an important fruit crop Pakistan ranked 5 th in mango production In Pakistan 250 cultivars of mango Mango is grown over an area of thousand hectares in Pakistan. Mango production is thousand tones (Anon, 2007). Continued

3 Mango post harvest diseases minimize fruit quality and cause losses. Major post harvest diseases in the world are: Anthracnose Stem end rot Soft rot : Alternaria rot, Aspergillus rot In Pakistan most prevalent post harvest diseases are:- Anthracnose Stem end rot.

4 Aim of Study Assessment of post harvest diseases of mango in the major markets of Punjab.

5 Objectives To know the prevalence, Incidence and severity of post harvest mango diseases in domestic markets and consignments for export. Identification and characterization of the post harvest fungal pathogens.

6 Materials and Methods Objective 1: To know the prevalence, Incidence and severity of post harvest mangoes diseases in domestic markets and consignments for export. Survey and Sampling: local markets (Faisalabad, Shujaabd,Rahim yar Khan, Rawalpindi, Multan), October 2011, White Chonsa (variety) Assessment of Prevalence Prevalence % = Locations showing mango disease X 100 Total Locations Continued

7 Incidence Incidence = No. of diseased mango Total no. of mango PERCENT DISEASE INCIDENCE P.D.I = No. of diseased mango * 100 Total no. of mango Disease Severity 1 : 0 1% 2 : 2-5% 3 : 6 10% 4 : 11 49% 5 : % Lesion and diseased area Continued

8 Objective 2: Identification and characterization of the post harvest fungal pathogens. Preparation of different Media: 1. Potato Dextrose Agar ( for general type of fungi) 2. Oat Meal Agar (for Aspergillus and Lasiodiplodia) 3. Malt extract agar (Lasiodiplodia spp.) 4. Potato Carrot Agar (Alternaria, Botrytis) 5. V - 8 Agar (Colletotrichum) Continued

9 Parameters investigated Total number of fungi Frequency of each class of fungi Fungal characters Disease symptoms and associated fungi
