Biological Control of Pre and Postharvest Diseases II

Dear Colleagues,

The open access journal Horticulturae (IF: 3.0; Q1 in Horticulture) is pleased to announce that we have launched a new Special Issue titled “Biological Control of Pre and Postharvest Diseases II”. Given your expertise in this field, we would like to invite you to contribute an article to the present Special Issue.

Consumers and retailers requires fruit and vegetables of high quality and with reduced or no residues of synthetic fungicides, then alternatives are desirable. However, these alternatives are not easy to be developed and turned in practice and need extensive innovation and trials at different scale levels to be made available for the agricultural system. This Special Issue will cover all alternatives to syntetic fungicides based on the use of biocontrol agents, physical means, and natural compounds for the maneageent of pre and postharvest diseases of fresh fruit and vegetables. Knowing your research activity, we are confident you can take the opportunity to share your results in this Special Issue.
