Summary

ASPERGILLUS NIGER AND BOTRYODIPLODIA THEOBROMAE ARE MOULDS CAUSING THE MOST SERIOUS DETERIORATIONS OF GRAPES (6 TO 60% LOSSES OF ARRIVALS ON MARKETS DURING THE MAIN SEASON). NO TREATMENT MADE PRIOR TO INOCULATION WAS EFFECTIVE AGAINST A. NIGER, WHEREAS A POSTHARVEST TREATMENT WITH 10 MIN DIPS IN 500 PPM BAVISTIN GAVE SATISFACTORY RESULTS.
