Characterization and postharvest control [bactericides] of Erwinia carotovora subsp. carotovora [bacterial diseases] infecting cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitata L.)
1983
Borromeo, E.S.
Several chemicals were screened for possible control of soft rot development in cabbage tissues. Alum (15% solution and lime (75% suspension)) were found to be promising. Alum was bactericidal against the soft rot pathogen. While lime was not bactericidal but provides protective barrier against the inroad of the pathogen, thus depriving the pathogen of free moisture required for infection. Results showed that neither alum nor lime application was required during the dry season trial due to low disease incidence. However, both treatments provided effective control of the disease during storage in perforated plastic bag kept at ambient temperature
