Evaluation of postharvest treatments with chemical resistance inducers to control green and blue molds on orange fruit

Preventive and curative activities of postharvest treatments with selected chemical resistance inducers to control postharvest green (GM) and blue (BM) molds on oranges (cvs. ‘Valencia’ or ‘Lanelate’) artificially inoculated with Penicillium digitatum and Penicillium italicum, respectively, were evaluated.
