| Abstract: | Disease severity of powdery mildew (causal agentLeveillula taurica (Lév.) Arn.) on pepper (Capsicum annuum), defoliation and fruit sunscald rating were significantly reduced (P=0.05) by foliar applications of sodium or potassium
bicarbonate solutions, compared with water or penconazole (Ophir). Preharvest application of bicarbonate solutions significantly
reduced (P=0.05) postharvest decay development on sweet red pepper fruits. |
