Identification of the problem and management of the fruitrot fungus Mucor in strawberry

PCH - Proefcentrum Hoogstraten, PCFruit - Proefcentrum Fruitteelt

Mucor infections in the worst form lead to the loss of firmness of the flesh during ripening on the plant, to the extent that the fruit becomes detached from the calyx and splits open when falling to the ground. But usually the fruit rot symptoms become visible only after a few days in storage, at the auctions or only later in the stores.
