Abstract : In vitro toxicity tests and inoculation and postharvest treatments were conducted using 8 fungicides on mango fruit against Diplodia natalensis [Botryodiplodia theobromae]. Propiconazole (as Tilt) was the best for controlling the disease. Mixtures of benomyl + guazatine or imazalil were more efficient than the separate fungicides. Thiabendazole (as Tecto) was ineffective in controlling postharvest damage of stem end rot.
