3.5 Integrated use of the yeast and hot water
treatment
Hot water treatment followed by immersion
in yeast cell suspension gave the best control result
in reducing anthracnose lesion development when
compared to a single application, whereas a mango
of the control treatment showed severe disease
symptoms (Fig. 2). Disease scores of the control
treatment, hot water treatment (HWT), yeast+HWT
and yeast treatment were 5.23, 1.92, 0.27 and 1.86,
respectively. The advantage of yeast+HWT is clear
(0.27).
