Abstract

The goal of this work is to control strawberry fruit gray mold and improve quality parameters through an experimental investigation utilizing inexpensive, environmentally safe natural extracts. Botrytis cinerea, commonly known as gray mold, is a significant threat to global strawberry production. Its presence leads to fruit rejection due to the adverse effects on fruit quality, posing a major concern for the production. The use of chemical fungicides to control this pathogenic fungus has drawbacks, emphasizing the need for alternative solutions. Extracts from Moringaoleifera, known for their antifungal properties, present a potential option for addressing this challenge.This research emphasizes the potential of Moringaoleifera as a natural solution for controlling post-harvest gray mold in strawberries, along with its positive impact on various quality parameters of the fruit. We assessed the moringa leaves extracts against Botrytis cinerea on strawberry fruit as well as their quality parameters effect.The findings revealed the presence of numerous compounds in M. oleifera extracts obtained using different solvents, as analyzed by GC/MS. The antifungal characteristics of these compounds against gray mold were evidentand all extractions at various concentrations effectively reduced gray mold disease in strawberries, thereby improving disease control. Particularly, the methanol extraction exhibited the most significant effectiveness across all concentrations.There existed a direct correlation between the concentrations and its effectiveness against the disease. It is fortunate that all the treatments improved most of the quality parameters of the fruits, with particular emphasis by the methanol extract treatment.
