Cover Story: Ethyl formate (EF) is a naturally occurring fumigant approved for use in grain storage, logistics, and quarantine applications. As a human- and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional fumigants, EF is gaining renewed attention for its safety and efficacy. However, limited research exists on its effectiveness against fungal pathogens. This study highlights EF’s potential as a postharvest treatment for fungal control, demonstrating no adverse effects on seed germination. Its breakdown product, formic acid, also shows strong antifungal activity, adding further value. This research explores the potential of EF to control both insect pests and microorganisms in a single treatment, promoting more sustainable and effective postharvest protection. View this paper
