Bill, Malick; Sivakumar, Dharini; Beukes, Mervyn; Korsten, Lise (Elsevier, 2016-03)Thyme oil (TO) fumigation (96 ll l 1) to cv. Hass and Ryan avocados significantly reduced anthracnose incidence compared to prochloraz and the untreated control. Also, enhanced activities of b-1,3- glucanase, chitinase ...

Siyoum, Nazareth Afewerki; Surridge-Talbot, A.K.J. (Angela Karen Joanna); Van der Linde, Elna J.; Korsten, Lise (Springer, 2016-03)The aim of the study was to investigate microbial succession in the mushroom supply chain from compost, casing to fruit body formation and mushroom growth to the point of harvested, packing and point of sale. The microbial ...

Louw, Johannes Petrus; Korsten, Lise (Springer, 2016-12)Stone fruit are highly perishable and susceptible to numerous postharvest pathogens. P. expansum is a well-known pathogen of stone fruit but little is known about other Penicillium spp. that could potentially cause decay. ...
-
Gomba, Annancietar; Chidamba, Lizyben; Korsten, Lise (Elsevier, 2016-11)Increases in foodborne disease outbreaks associated with fresh produce have necessitated the need to identify potential sources of microbial contamination in produce and agricultural environments. The present study ...
