The results of studies of the effectiveness of preharvest fungicidal sprays in controlling various postharvest rot diseases are reviewed. Results from a number of temperate and tropical fruits are discussed, including apples, strawberries, raspberries, lychees, mangoes, and bananas. It is concluded that field spraying crops with chemical fungicides can reduce postharvest diseases but results will not always be consistent. Integrated control procedures, coupled with a knowledge of the causal organism, are crucial to effective disease control.
