Abstract

This study evaluated the potential of plant extracts from the Lamiaceae family (oregano, thyme, and rosemary) for controlling post-harvest diseases in Hass avocado fruits. The in vitro activity of organic extracts on Colletotrichum gloeosporioides and Lasiodiplodia theobromae was determined. Subsequently, the activity of extract formulations was evaluated on artificially infected fruits. Besides, Raphanus sativus was used as a plant model to determine the phytotoxic effect of the formulation with the highest potential for controlling the evaluated phytopathogens. Finally, a selected bioformulation was evaluated in a packing plant under real conditions. The bioformulation provided 84 and 60% protection against C. gloeosporioides and L. theobromae, respectively. The results indicated a high potential for these extracts in the development of commercial products that can contribute to the sustainable growth of the agricultural sector under clean production schemes.
