Abstract
Fungal pathogens namely Alternaria alternata, Botrytis cinerea, Glomerella cingulata, Monilinia fructigena, Penicillium expansum are reported to cause considerable post harvest losses in the state of Himachal Pradesh in India. Bio formulation comprising of six botanicals (seed/leaves) and cow urine were found effective for the management of post-harvest rot in apples. Fruit dip and wrappers impregnated with the bio formulations resulted in 84.7 per cent reduction in the post harvest rot after 75 days of storage at 4°C. Bio formulation treated fruits resulted in better fruit firmness and low TSS (14-16%).
