- Observation Twelve fungal genera were detected on cocoa pods.
- Observation Aspergillus species had the highest occurrence at 14.3%.
- Observation Tested antifungal agents varied in inhibition of pod fungi.
- Observation Fluconazole produced a 40 mm inhibition zone against S. racemosum.
- Observation Nystatin had the least activity against C. xerophilum, with a 10 mm zone.
- Observation Griseofulvin had little or no activity against tested fungi.
