Black rot, caused by the fungus Thielaviopsis paradoxa, is typically the most common and severe post-harvest disease of pineapple. Control of black rot is achieved by minimizing mechanical injury to the fruit coupled with appropriate fungicides.
Natap™ can minimize the black rotting, which helped maintain good fruit quality during 15 weeks of storage.

Black rot, caused by the fungus Thielaviopsis paradoxa, is typically the most common and severe post-harvest disease of pineapple. Infestation started at the stalk-end of the pineapple after 8 to 12 hours, after wounding and symptoms begin as a soft, watery rot which later darkens due to growth of the-dark-""rot""a fungal mycelium and spores.Control of black rot is achieved by minimizing mechanical injury to the fruit coupled with appropriate fungicides.
Figure 1 shows that dipping pineapple with 0.4g/kg Natasan™ for 10 seconds within 5 hours after harvest, stored at 7°C, can minimise the black rotting, which helped maintain a good fruit quality during 15 weeks of storage.
