Effects of chitosan-plant extract coatings on the postharvest quality of mango fruits (Mangifera indica) with anthracnose disease

Anthracnose is the most prevalent and devastating fungal disease both before and after harvesting of mango worldwide. The anthracnose pathogen infects fruit in the field and remains quiescent until the fruit is harvested and starts to ripen. This is the major constraint in the commercialization of fresh mango.
