Title: Effect of chemicals against bacterial soft rot of fruits
Abstract: An experiment was conducted at microbiology laboratory of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Agricultural University to control the bacterial soft rot of fruits with chemicals in vitro and in vivo condition in 2013. Soft rotted fruit samples of mango, apple, banana, papaya and pineapple were collected from different areas of Bangladesh based on characteristic soft rot symptom. After performing biochemical and physiological tests for characterization of bacterial isolates isolated from fruit samples, three bacteria species namely, Erwinia carotovora subsp. carotovora, Dickeya dadantii, Pseudomonas marginalis were identified. Antibacterial activity of vinegar, boric acid, calcium chloride and potassium sulfate were evaluated against soft rot bacteria. Among these chemicals,  vinegar and boric acid showed antibacterial activity against soft rot bacteria in vitro. Based on the results of the in vitro experiment, vinegar and boric acid were used to control soft rot disease of papaya and apple in storage. Vinegar was found more effective than boric acid in controlling the soft rot disease of fruits in storage.
