Summary
Fruit rot (Phytophthora palmivora) of papaya (Carica papaya) might be a disease that compromise fruit production. This disease is difficult to control, leading to losses in fruit yield. Cultural, biological and physical methods can reduce the use of fungicides, as well as reduce losses due diseases, with less environmental impact. Resistance inducers and foliar fertilizers can be applied, giving protection to the fruit and increasing shelf life. Such products applied in pre-harvest decrease diseases, reduce the spread of pathogen inoculum and decrease postharvest fruit rot (LUZ et al, 2001; BARRA et al, 2005)
