Management of citrus blue and green moulds through application of organic elicitors

The present studies aimed to develop control of citrus green and blue moulds caused by Penicillium digitatum and P. italicum, respectively, using elicitors as an alternate to synthetic chemicals. The dose-responsive toxicity of two organic elicitors was evaluated through a series of in vitro and in vivo experiments including pre- and postharvest application of different concentrations of salicylic acid (SA) or methyl jasmonate (MeJ) to ‘Lane...
