Abstract : Post-harvest treatment of fruits in water at 51-55°C for 15 minutes checked infection by latent pathogenic fungi (Diplodia natalensis [Botryodiplodia theobromae] and Colletotrichum gloeosporioides [Glomerella cingulata]). In cultivars Neelum and Okrong effectiveness was 58-100%. The fruits remained attractive (colour and palatability) even beyond 15 days' storage.
