Spectrobates ceratoniae and pathogenic fungi, especially Aspergillus spp. and Penicillium spp. are the most important problems for storage and export of pomegranate. Spectrobates ceratoniae carries pathogenic agents into the pomegranate fruits and it is the most important agent in rotting process. To determin the best methods for decreasing the fruit rot losses in storage period and increasing of pomegranate storage life, a research was carried out in Yazd since 1999 for two years. The experiment was done under controlled condition(10±1°C and 55-60% R.H.). In this experiment 2 factors with 3 replicates at a split plot design were studied. The main factor was two variety of pomegranate(Malas-Yazdi and Gell-e-Tafti). The second factor were different treatments consist of CaCl2, Wax, Waitex(NaOCl) , Benomil, Cupravite, Tecto and Control. Analysis of variances for results indicated that there were significant differences between treatments and interactions of them. The results showed that Gell-e-Tafti was more resistance to the Spectrobates ceratoniae and fungus diseases. Also, Waitex was the best material for controlling of pomegranate fruit storage rots. Therefore, this material was recommend for disinfection of pomegranate before storage.
