Pre-harvest benzimidazole fungicide sprays reduced the pre-harvest incidence of rots caused by Botrytis cinerea, Mucor mucedo, Rhizopus stolonifer and R. sexualis in strawberry fruits, but only slightly reduced it in stored fruits. Continuous fumigation with SO2, dipping in 0.5% dehydroacetic acid or 0.1% diethyl pyrocarbamate solutions decreased the incidence of rots in stored fruit, but treatment with 0.5% acetaldehyde was less effective and damaged the fruit.
