Abstract

Growth-inhibitory effects of citrus oils and agricultural fungicides, which were on the market, on several molds isolated from putrefied citrus fruits were investigated. When fungicidal activities of 11 kinds of synthetic agrochemicals against 6 species of molds, Alternaria alternata, Rhizopus sp., Botrytis cinerea, Monilia candida, Penicillium italicum and Penicillium digitatum, were investigated, agrochemicals containing mancozeb or fluazinam as an effective component had the broadest fungicidal spectrum. Agrochemicals containing iprodione, benomyl, azoxystrobin or thiophanate were less effective on the molds and those containing conazole derivative were intermediately effective. Resistance of the molds to the agrochemicals were species- and agrochemical-dependent. Among those molds tested, Penicillium italicum and Alternaria alternata showed relatively higher level of survival in the presence of synthetic fungicides. On the other hand, when the molds were exposed to citrus oils by direct contact, no cell could survive regardless of the species. The fungicidal activity of citrus oils was also confirmed by paper disk method and microscopic observation. These results suggested that citrus oils had broad killing activity against molds. Therefore, it would be necessary to design method for the application of citrus oils in order to improve post-harvest storage of citrus fruits.

감귤저장 방법의 개선과 감귤 껍질의 효율적인 활용을 위해서 시판 중인 농약제제와 감귤정유의 감귤부패 관련 사상균에 대한 살균 작용을 조사하였다. Alternaria alternata, Rhizopus sp., Botrytis cinerea, Monilia candida, Penicillium italicum, Penicillium digitatum 등 6종의 사상균에 대한 시판 합성 농약제제 11종의 생육저해 효과를 조사한 결과, mancozeb 또는 fluazinam을 함유한 제제의 활성 범위가 가장 넓었고, conazole 계통의 화합물이 중간 정도의 활성 범위를 나타내었으며, iprodione, benomyl, azoxtrobin 또는 thiophanate을 함유한 제제의 항균활성 범위가 가장 좁은 것으로 나타났다. 농약제제의 생육저해 효과는 대상 균주에 따라 달랐으며, Penicillium italicum과 Alternaria alternata는 각종 살균제의 처리에 대한 생존력이 비교적 강하였다. 감귤정유를 상기 6개 균주의 포자와 각각 접촉시켰을 때는 그 어느 균주의 생존 포자도 검출되지 않았으며, 감귤정유의 살균력은 paper disk법과 현미경 관찰로도 증명되었다. 이는 감귤정유가 광범위한 살균력을 지니고 있음을 제시한다. 따라서 감귤 정유를 감귤저장에 활용하는 방법을 검토할 필요가 있다.
