FUNGI STOP keeps blueberries free of Botrytis

The blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum) is a fruit highly appreciated for its intense flavor and color in the gastronomy of many countries. It is a climacteric fruit that surprisingly behaves like a non-climacteric fruit. This is because, once harvested, its respiration rate drops considerably. Blueberries are usually transported and marketed in micro-perforated clamshell boxes to avoid bruising and crush damage. One of the most common diseases affecting blueberries is the botrytis fungus, which directly affects the softening of the skin, causing extensive damage to the fruit. The botrytis fungus (Botrytis cinerea) or gray mold is present in the harvest field although it becomes evident in the post-harvest stage. FUNGI STOP, by BION, improves the shelf life of blueberries.
