Effects of chitosan combined with clove oil on the decay incidence (A) and lesion diameter (B) of citrus fruit inoculated with P. digitatum and stored at 5 ◦ C until 17 days. CTS: chitosan at 1%; ClO: clove oil at 0.5, 1 and 2 mL/L; CTS + ClO: combination treatment. Vertical bars represent the standard error of the mean. The different letters (a, b, c, d and e) between different treatments indicate significant differences (P = 0.05).
