THE EVOLUTION OF THE FITOSANITARY STATUS OF THE STORED APPLES IN NATURAL CONDITIONS

Abstract

The researches took place in natural conditions of storage from October to March, and were aimed at two apple cultivars: Jonathan and Golden delicious. We had determinate the field and storage mycological flora which produces rotten stuff. The cultivar Golden delicious behaved as resistant in the storage period; the frequency (F%), the intensity (I%) and the degree of attack (D.A%) was low, for example the degree of attack in March touched 5,52%. The cultivar Jonathan breaked down after three month of storage, the frequency of attack being above 30%.
