Comparing neem seed oil with calcium chloride and fungicides for controlling postharvest apple decay.

ABSTRACT :

 

The antifungal properties of a hydrophobic seed extract from Azadirachta indica were tested against the postharvest apple pathogens; Botrytis cinerea, Penicillium expansum and Glomerella cingulata. The antifungal activity of neem seed oil was also compared with that of CaCl2. A 2% aqueous emulsion of the clarified neem seed oil was moderately fungicidal to B. cinerea and G. cingulata in inoculated fruit, but had little activity against P. expansum. Ethylene production was reduced by 80% in fruit dipped in 2% neem seed oil compared with wounded, inoculated controls. Neem seed oil was as effective as CaCl2, but the effects of the 2 antifungal agents in combination were not additive.
