Other claims from this paper (10)
- Intervention effect Potassium bicarbonate suppressed mycelial growth of Penicillium digitatum in vitro with an ED50 of 0.08%.
- Intervention effect On inoculated and naturally infected 'Navel' oranges, the concentration of potassium bicarbonate greatly affected its efficacy for green mold control.
- Intervention effect A rate of 3.4% potassium bicarbonate was the best concentration for reducing green mold incidence on 'Navel' oranges under the test conditions.
- Intervention effect At 3.4%, potassium bicarbonate significantly (P = 0.05) reduced green mold incidence on 'Valencia' or 'Pineapple' oranges in two additional tests.
- Intervention effect Potassium bicarbonate at 3.4% never significantly reduced stem-end rot, caused mainly by Diplodia natalensis, in any test.
- Intervention effect Potassium bicarbonate at 3.4% achieved efficacy similar to imazalil at 0.1% for green mold control in all four tests.
- Intervention effect Potassium bicarbonate at 3.4% performed similarly to thiabendazole at 0.1%, used as a standard fungicide, for green mold control in three tests.
- Intervention effect Both potassium and sodium bicarbonate at 3.4% effectively controlled green mold.
- Intervention effect Neither potassium nor sodium bicarbonate at 3.4% effectively controlled stem-end rot.
- Observation No fruit damage was observed in any test.
