Abstract

Post-harvest disease of avocado fruits was isolated for the causal agent, Fusarium verticillioides (Sacc.) Nirenberg which was molecularly identified using internal transcribed spacer (ITS). Among 4 types of local essential oils (0, 0.1, 0.25, 0.5, 1 and 2%) from Citrus sp., Cocos nucifera, Cymbopogon flexuosus and Syzygium aromaticum and 4 coating materials, beeswax (0, 5, 10 and 20%), chitosan (0, 0.5, 1 and 2%), gelatin (0, 2, 5 and 10%) and paraffin wax (0, 5, 10 and 20%), oil from S. aromaticum, beeswax and chitonsan exhibited antifubgal activities against F. verticillioides (postharvest disease of avocado fruits). The result revealed that the higher concentrations of coating materials (5, 10 and 20% beeswax and 0.5, 1 and 2% chitosan) and S. aromaticum oil (0.5 and 1%) showed the greater fungal inhibition. In conclusion, the local essential oil from S. aromaticum and coating materials, beeswax and chitosan gave the potential prevention against the fruit rot disease on avocadoes
