Integrated management of post-harvest fruit diseases.
My research emphasizes the development of techniques for integrated management of post-harvest fruit diseases, including cultural, chemical, and biological methods. Management strategies for disease control without the use of fungicides, and integration of disease control with horticultural practices are studied.
