Abstract

A survey was conducted in the cities of Rajshahi and Khagrachari during 2017-18 to document postharvest diseases affecting mango and jujube fruits obtained from various locations within the cities. Six diseases, together with their incidence and severity, were documented during the survey. The greatest incidence and severity of postharvest diseases in fruits were observed in Stem end rot (24.78% and 24.06%) in mango and Anthracnose (19.03% and 12.11%, respectively) in jujube. The lowest incidence and severity were seen in mango discolouration and in Alternaria spot and Pestalotiopsis rot from jujube, respectively. The survey identified the following post-harvest diseases in two fruits: anthracnose (Colletotrichum gloeosporioides), stem end rot (Botryodiplodia theobromae), Fusarium rot (Fusarium sp.), Pestalotiopsis rot (Pestalotiopsis sp.), Alternaria fruit rot (Alternaria sp.), and discolouration.
