Orchard sanitation as a means of controlling postharvest diseases.

The aim of this trial was to try to reduce the incidence of postharvest diseases (anthracnose and soft brown rot caused by Nattrassia mangiferae and Colletotrichum gloeosporioides [Glomerella cingulata]) by removing all possible sources of inoculum from the trees and orchards. Kent trees in the Letsitele Valley were used in this trial. Sanitation was performed by removing all non-bearing flower panicles as well as all dead leaves and branches. Trees that received no sanitation served as control trees. Sanitation caused a big reduction in the incidence and severity of both anthracnose and soft brown rot when compared with trees that received no sanitation.
