Nine commercial fungicides, namely: Daconil, Benlate, Fungitox, Vitigran Blue, Dithane M-45, Curzate M, Manzineb, Borax and Orthocide 50 were used against the blue mold rot of Citrus daidai (Japanese summer grape-fruit) caused by Penicillium italicum. Disease incidence was lowest in fruits treated with Daconil and Benlate and highest in those treated with Dithane M-45. Likewise, disease severity was least in Daconil and Benlate treated fruits while fruits treated with Dithane M-45 showed the most severe symptoms among the treated. Consequently, Daconil and Benlate were found to be the most effective fungicides while smoking fruits in storage appeared to be the least effective control measure. There were no significant differences among treated fruits in rind texture, flesh-texture and odor. Fruits treated with distilled water significantly had the better taste.
