Effect of Post-Harvest Fungal Pathogens on Fruit Quality in Guava Cv. Allahabad Safeda

Fruits of guava cultivar 'Allahabad Safeda' at mature yellowish-green stage were collected from Allahabad fruit market. Nine post-harvest fungal pathogens were isolated from these fruits. Of these, two isolates with highest incidence, namely, Pestalosia psidii (fruit canker causing pathoge...
