Mango fruits are susceptible to diseases, such as anthracnose, during fruit development,
leading to yield reduction. Epicuticular wax is closely related to resistance of plants to …

Two years of field testing were conducted in naturally Plasmopara halstedii-infested soils to
assess the effectiveness of Trichoderma harzianum isolate (TRIC8) against downy mildew …

The epicuticular wax represents the outer layer of the grape berry skin and is known as trait
that is significantly correlated to resilience towards Botrytis bunch rot. Traditionally this trait is …
