Abstract : The efficacy of azoxystrobin, benomyl and carbendazim, applied at 5, 7, 9 and 11 weeks after full bloom, against postharvest stem-end rot in mango (caused by Nattrassia mangiferae) was evaluated. All the fungicides significantly reduced the incidence of stem-end rot when applied at 5 weeks after full bloom. Benomyl was also effective when applied at 11 weeks after full bloom. In general, early fungicide applications were effective against stem-end rot.
