Pathogens are the most important factors including postharvest losses. Non-alcoholic methods such as carbonic acid medicinal plant extracts for preventing postharvest diseases are recommended. Investigation was conducted as a CRD with 4 replications. Application of pure thyme extract reduced the decay percentage of Marsh grapefruit 93% (control) to 2% and 8% respectively. Even though, it was 82% to 12% in Washingtonnavel orange. Also the effect of fungicide was excellent in same condition, but we don’t know more about the side effects of these products about human health.
