Description
Summary:Mango (Mangifera indica L.) is one of the popular fruit crops in Malaysia and stem-end rot is a serious post-harvest disease of mango fruits. The present study was conducted to determine the stem-end rot fungal pathogens. Mango fruits were collected from orchard, night market and supermarket at northern states of Peninsular Malaysia. Fungal isolates were isolated from lesion of stem-end rot from cultivars Chok Anan, Falan, Golek, Black Gold, Harumanis, Waterlily, Raja and Apple Mango. The fungal isolates were identified using morphological and molecular characteristics.
