The fungicidal and waxing methods were used in controlling post harvest diseases and losses in tangerines. The following were observed: 1. Low temperature could inhibit microbial growth and metabolism in fruits, thus fruits had a longer storage life; 2. There were no significant differences sensory evaluation and chemical composition of fruits placed in a cold storage; 3. Fruits treated with benomyl waxed had higher acidity and pH than control; 4. Waxed fruits except benomyl waxed fruits, had significant difference on sensory evaluation from control when stored in ambient temperature; 5. Benomyl and thiabendazol were effective in controlling blue mold, green mold and black mold but less effective in controlling Colletotrichum gloeosporioides; 6. The longer the storage period was, the poorer was the quality of fruits found in both storage conditions; 7. Reduction of weight loss could be achieved by waxing; 8. Post harvest disease caused by Colletotrichum gloeosporioides was found mostly during storage either in low or ambient temperature. Phomopsis sp., Fusarium sp. were also found.
