Abstract : Benomyl and thiabendazole effectively controlled stem end rot of mango fruits (cv. Baladi) caused by Diplodia natalensis [Botryodiplodia theobromae], although the degree of control was influenced by the time of application. The protective effect lasted up to 10 d after treatment. Imazalil and prochloraz were ineffective. Thiabendazole residues were detected on mango fruits and in juice, with residues in the pulp increasing with storage time.
