Efficacy Evaluation of Iraqi Propolis Against Gray Mold of Stored Orange Caused by Penicillium digitatum
Oadi N. Matny

Abstract: This study was conducted to evaluate Iraqi propolis against gray mold on orange. Propolis Ethanolic Extract (PEE) in three concentrations 1, 2 and 3% were used to treated orange treatments separately and storage at 25±2°C for three weeks. Results showed a significant reduced in disease severity in the first, second and third week for all PEE concentrations compared with infected control. The best treatment was 3% in disease severity reduction. Disease incidence was significantly reduced with the treatment treated with PEE for all concentrations compared with the pathogen treatment, both concentration of PEE 2 and 3% was the most effective. Also, all PEE concentrations reduce depth of the mold area compared with pathogen treatment. There are no significant differences in patulin production between PEE and pathogen treatments was founded.
