Abstract : The efficacy and persistence of 0.1% carbendazim were studied in mango fruits in storage at room temperature in August in India (35-40°C) following post-harvest dip treatment. The treatment gave effective control against stem end rot [?Botryodiplodia theobromae] and anthracnose [Glomerella cingulata] diseases for up to 10 days. The carbendazim residues were found to persist beyond 8 days on the fruits, but the residue level was below the MRL value.
