important postharvest rots affecting peaches in Egypt and economic losses are increasing. Antifungal activity
of glycyrrhizic acid nanoparticles (GA-NPs) and glycyrrhizic acid (GA) at 0.2 and 0.4 mmol/L was investigated
as a control for both these brown rot pathogens on peach fruits in both in vitro and in vivo studies. In the in vitro
studies, GA-NPs were the most effective as shown by the ability to… More >
