In previous studies, a treatment based on some ITCs in an enriched atmosphere was found to be active against Penicillium expansum on pears and Monilinia laxa on peaches and nectarines, while on B. cinerea there are only a few data from in vitro and in vivo trials.
Out offive ITCs tested in the cited work, allyl-isothiocyanates (AITC), produced from the GL sinigrin (2-propenyl-glucosinolate), seems to be the most active, for biological activity and favourable vapour pressures, whether applied as a synthetic compound or as GL-derived ITC from Brassica carinata defatted seed meal (DSM)
