Abstract
There is an increased demand for alternative products instead of synthetic fungicides for the management of postharvest diseases in melon crops to prevent the development of quiescent infections that cause great economic losses. In the present study, we evaluated the cantaloupe and orange flesh melon cultivars after treatment with acibenzolar-S-methyl, methyl jasmonate, Agro-Mos®, calcium phosphite and potassium phosphite. Treatments with methyl jasmonate, potassium phosphite and Agro-Mos® reduced the incidence of fungal infections in the treated fruits. The use of alternative products should extend the management strategies to the pre-harvest period, with regard to enhancing the beneficial effects of these products and ensuring that they effectively target postharvest infections.
