Abstract: Postharvest resistance of fruit inoculated with T. roseum or A. alternata was induced by treatment of benzo (1, 2, 3) thiadiazole-7-carbothioic acid S-methylester (BTH) or Harpin one day before harvest or by salicylic acid (SA) treatment after harvest. Efficacy of reducing decay with BTH, Harpin or SA is enhanced with the increase of elicitors concentration, so 100mg/L BTH, 60mg/L Harpin or 0.4mg/L SA is found to decrease the lesion diameter to a great extent in fruit inoculated with T. roseum orA .a lternata,r espectively.
