Other claims from this paper (8)
- Observation Botryodiplodia theobromae was the most frequently occurring pathogen in all stored taro cormel samples.
- Observation Fusarium solani and Rhizopus stolonifer were among the fungal isolates identified from stored taro cormels.
- Observation Trichoderma viride was among the fungal isolates identified from stored taro cormels.
- Association The inhibitory potential of botanical extracts varied with taro cultivars and pathogens.
- Association The occurrence of isolates was highest in the Coco India taro cultivar with no treatment.
- Association The occurrence of isolates was least in the purple green taro (Nachi) cultivar with Ridomil Gold-treated samples.
- Intervention effect All botanical extracts reduced post-harvest rot organisms on taro cormels compared with control.
- Recommendation Field sprays of botanicals are recommended to farmers as alternative natural fungicides against taro cormel rot pathogens.
