Abstract : The efficacy of glycerol, castor oil, paraffin oil, soap and wheat flour as adjuvants and 3 homoeopathic drugs in controlling storage rots of mango (caused by Pestalotia mangiferae), guava (by P. psidii) and tomato (by Fusarium roseum) fruits, was investigated. Drug treatment reduced storage rots. Soap was the best adjuvant, improving the efficacy of all the drugs. The drugs did not cause any change in the quality and palatability of fruits. Treatment was fairly economical.
