The alternate use of increased CO2 level has proven to be useful in
controlling postharvest pathogens during long term, low-temperature storage. Dipping of fruits in hot water (55
oC) amended with fungicides such as prochloraz, can adequately control most of the superficial infection and
prevent transmition of inoculum. Biological control measure is at an early stage of commercialization. A warm
water dip B.lichiforms, followed by reduced concentrations of prochloraz was found to effectively control
various mango diseases, including fruit rots (CABI, 2005; Cooke et al., 200
