- Intervention effect Hot benomyl at 50 and 52°C was equally effective against postharvest disease lesions on Bengal lychee during storage at 5°C for up to 30 days.
- Intervention effect Hot benomyl appeared less effective on Kwai Mai Pink lychee.
- Association Heat damage of the pericarp interacted with disease expression in Kwai Mai Pink lychee.
- Intervention effect Prochloraz provided good lychee disease control.
- Intervention effect Prochloraz caused tainting of lychee.
- Intervention effect Sulphur dioxide slow release pads provided good lychee disease control.
- Intervention effect Sulphur dioxide slow release pads caused bleaching of the lychee pericarp.
- Observation Lychee pericarp colour gradually returned after sulphur dioxide pads were removed.
- Observation Penicillium spp. infected lychee fruit that were incompletely fumigated.
- Intervention effect Cool storage at 5°C delayed disease expression in Bengal lychee for up to 16 days.
- Observation Alternaria alternata, Colletotrichum gloeosporioides and Colletotrichum acutatum were recorded as lychee fruit pathogens.
- Observation Pestalotiopsis sp. was recorded as a pathogen of lychee fruit.
