Evaluation of combined application of irradiation with fumigation at various doses in control of anthracnose and blue mold caused by Colletotrichum gloeosporioides (A) and Penicillium expansum (B), respectively, at two different storage temperatures (25 ± 2°C and 4°C) on postharvest apple fruits. The experiment was repeated at least once with 18 replicates (fruits) per treatment. Bars with the same letters indicate no statistical difference between the treated and non-treated control, according to the least significant difference test (P < 0.05). EDN, ethanedinitrile; IR, irradiation.
