Papaya is prone to many diseases incited by fungi, bacteria, nematodes and viruses leading to enormous loss in yield. Among all, papaya anthracnose incited by Colletotrichum gloeosporioides (Penz.) Penz. & Sacc. appear to be more severe causing substantial losses to papaya fruits during transit and storage. Papaya anthracnose is the most important disease throughout the year in India and it became a major limiting factor in papaya cultivation.

Contamination of feed materials with aflatoxins is an important issue due to both acute and chronic intoxication in animals and also harmful to humans. In the present study, 25 formulated cattle feed samples of different sources were collected from Tamil Nadu and analysed for moisture content, storage mycoflora including aflatoxigenic A. flavus and aflatoxin B1.

In the present study attempts have been made on the isolation and identification of fungi in order to study the mycoflora responsible to reduce the seed quality, longevity and vigor in the pulse of Hyacinth bean. Lablab purpureus L. is an annual plant that grows in poorly - drained soils belongs to the family Fabaceae. It contains high amount of protein, vitamins and minerals. Fungal cultures were isolated by using blotter and agar plate methods.22 fungal species and 14 genera were isolated.

Wounds caused by fire, herbivorism, rock impacts, etc. cause the direct loss of photosynthetic, storage and/or vascular tissue. In addition, they may entail other damages, such as desiccation of the exposed internal parts, or become a gateway to infection by fungi and other pathogens.

Jackfruit is seasonal and possesses 100-400 seeds. Impact of processing on storage and microbial quality of jackfruit seed flour was investigated. Hard variety of jackfruits was procured from UAS, Dharwad campus. Seeds separated, processed employing: boiling, pressure cooking, pan roasting, microwave roasting, baking. Seeds were chopped, dried and milled to flour. Fifty grams of flour were packed in two packaging material-160 gauge polyethylene and foil-coated aluminium pouches. Samples were withdrawn at 15 days interval and assessed for infestation, colour and moisture.

Aflatoxins are potent carcinogenic and mutagenic metabolites mainly produced by Aspergillus flavus. A study was conducted to manage the aflatoxin production in maize grains in ambient storage conditions using bioagents i.e., Trichoderma asperellm, T. viride and Aspergillus niger isolated from maize grain itself and initially tested for antagonistic ability against radial growth of Aspergillus flavus. T. asperellum was found most effective in suppressing the growth of test fungi.

Harvested paddy grain with high moisture content must be dried to about 12 per cent (w.b) within 24 hours for safe storage and milling. Approximately 9 per cent of paddy was lost due to outdated drying methods, milling, unscientific method of storage, transport and handling (Basavaraj et al., 2015). Mechanical drying is essential to maintain the quality of grain during storage to prevent the growth of bacteria and fungi and the development of insects and mites.

Red grape rotten in storage is a major problem for consumers, moreover the fruit after offering in Pura (Bali island) cannot be stored for long. Efforts to control environmentally friendly diseases are hopeful in the future, using exophytic and endophytic fungi derived from healthy red grapes that need to be utilized. The results showed that red grape rot was caused by Aspergillus niger. Fungi/actinomycetes found in exophytes were 19 isolates while those of endophytes consisted of 5 isolates.

A study was conducted to determine the mycoflora associated with pigeon pea cultivar MA6 and effect of botanicals on growth of mycoflora. The dominant fungi observed on pigeon pea cultivar MA6 seed were Rhizopus stolonifer, Aspergillus niger, A. flavus, Penicillium citrinum, P. rubrum, Alternaria alternata, A. solani, Curvularia lunata, Fusarium oxysporium. Among the treatments, the sulphate and nitrate treated seeds showed the less number of fungi isolated in comparison to untreated seeds. The nature of fungal flora had changed with prolongation of storage period of pigeonpea seeds.

In order to feed increasing population there is need of solution which can provide quick result which is possible with fungicides. Fungicides are necessary evils to kill unwanted pest and disease causing organisms in the agro-ecosystem. These are indispensible tool for protecting the crops and increasing food production. Soil applications of fungicides have been frequently used to control soil borne fungal diseases. Fungicides are used for killing or inhibiting the growth of fungus.

Large amount of wheat grains wasted during preservation. This paper deals with an high voltage electric field (HVEF) preservation method for wheat grain. The HV upto 50 kV is given in pulses between two electrodes and wheat grain is kept in between them to increase its shelf life. The wheat is spoiled during storage, fungi crop during harvesting, transport, and handling operations. The temperature and moisture content during storage are major factors to spoil it and germinate insects and fungal growth. This HVEF remove the moisture content and avoid fungal growth.

The present study was planned to assess the nutritional status and consumption pattern of fermented foods among local people of Manipur. From the survey the most commonly consumed foods fermented fish (Ngari) and fermented bamboo shoot (Soibum) were screen out and further organoleptic microbial and storage studies were carried out in the selected products. From the present study, it was revealed that 53 % of the respondents were having poor knowledge, 34% were in average knowledge and 13 % of the respondents were in good knowledge.

Brinjal (Solanum melongena L.) is an important solanaceous crop of sub-tropics and tropics. The Brinjal is being grown extensively in India. All vegetables have been known to serve as vehicles of human disease for at least a century. Vegetables can become contaminated with microorganisms capable of causing human diseases. This study was designed to determine the microbial load and prevalence of pathogens on surface of Brinjal in local market yards across Junagadh district.

This study focused its investigation on the use of the essential oil of a culinary and medicinal plant commonly used in Cameroon, Curcuma longa also called red ginger for the protection of white yam (Discorea rotoundata) during storage. The oil was obtained by hydro distillation using Clevenger apparatus with a yield of 0.26%, the chemical composition analysis revealed a predominance of oxygenated sesquiterpens (OST 63.43%) with as major compound α-bisabolol (42.87%), E-β-santalol (15.3%), β-cymene (8.22%).

The in vitro antifungal effect of the essential oil of Citrus medica L. on storage fungi of Arachis hypogea L. stored for 6 months was evaluated using the disc diffusion agar method. The oil exhibited a wide spectrum of fungitoxicity, inhibiting all 14 fungus species tested. Thus, the oil can be exploited as a fumigant against storage fungi for the preservation of stored legume seeds due to its wide range of activity, non-phytotoxicity, and long-term persistence of fungitoxicity.

Because agricultural production is seasonal, the products have to be stored for distribution later. The storage function involves risks -- risks of deterioration of products and risks of fluctuating market prices. Elaborate precautions are taken to guard against any deterioration of products from excessive moisture, heat, contaminating metals, bacteria and fungi, insects, and rodents and against loss from fire and theft.

Substantial levels of trehalose accumulate in bacteria, fungi, and inverte-brates, where it serves as a storage carbohydrate or as a protectant against environmental stresses. In higher plants, trehalose is detected at fairly low levels; therefore, a regulatory or signaling function has been proposed for this molecule.

Organizational Impact. EMC’s journey has demonstrated that it is easier to change technology than behavior. You may implement a new technology and change the way IT infrastructure is deployed fairly quickly, but you must understand the impact on the organization and the transformation that will ensue. These are not trivial issues. It is important to understand the strengths and organizational structure of your current team, because cloud-based IT tends to blur organizational lines.
