Table 1.
The pathogenicity of six fungal isolates after inoculation onto the postharvest peach fruits.
Isolates | Disease Incidences (%) | |
---|---|---|
Wound Inoculation | Intact Inoculation | |
Alternaria tenuis | 100.00 ± 0.00 a | 100.00 ± 0.00 a |
Botrytis cinerea | 100.00 ± 0.00 a | 92.33 ± 3.16 c |
Penicillium digitatum | 95.46 ± 4.21 b | 56.67 ± 3.02 f |
Trichothecium roseum | 34.54 ± 2.56 g | 0.00 ± 0.00 i |
Rhizopus nigricans | 100.00 ± 0.00 a | 83.33 ± 2.89 d |
Aspergillus niger | 67.63 ± 2.33 e | 17.34 ± 1.54 h |
Control | 0.00 ± 0.00 i | 0.00 ± 0.00 i |
Data are means ± standard error of replicates and those in a column followed by different letters are significantly different at p < 0.05, based on Duncan’s new multiple range test using multi-way ANOVA (n = 18). The disease incidences (%) were determined at 5 days after inoculation with the six isolates. Control represents the fruits inoculation with sterile water but not with the isolates.
