Summary

The effects of temperature and relative humidity on the disease severity on mango cv. Keshar fruits and spore germination of the causal organisms (Rhizopus arrhizus and Aspergillus niger) were investigated. The treatments were 10, 25, 30 and 35 °C; and 30, 50, 80 and 100% relative humidity for 6, 12 and 24 h. The optimum temperature for disease development of R. arrhizus and A. niger was 35 and 30 °C, respectively. Increasing relative humidity from 30 to 100% increased percentage rot.
