This study was conducted to determine the effects of storage conditions on apples treated with postharvest fungicides, benomyl and bitertanol. The fungicideds were applied to control Postharverst disease in apples during CA and cold storage. The stored Apple were tested monthly for weight loss, flesh firmness, titratable acidity, prix and free sugar. Relative to the control group, the pstharvest fungicide stoup had less disease. The fungicide treated apples stored in CA had a higher measured weight, better firmness and maintained acidity, prix and free sugar when compared to the control stoup monthly and after 200days. The fungicide treated apples in cold storage maintained their quality for 120days.

This study was conducted to test the effect of chitosan, grape fruit seed extracts(GFSE) and sodium hypochloride gas on the control of mycotoxin producing pathogens occurred kin postharvest grains. Among the treatments, sodium hypochloride gas showed the highest control effect on wheat, soybean and corn see maintained in natural conditions after postharvest and GFSE had a little control effect, but chitosan treatment had no effect. Sodium hypochloride gas exhibited the strongest control effect on the major mycotoxin producing pathogens such as Penicillium spp. Aspergillus spp. and Fusarium spp., whereas GFSE had a little control effect. Sodium hypochloride gas appeared to be effective when the grains were treated with this gas more than 24 hours.
