Abstract
The use of fungicides represents the most effective and widely used strategy for controlling postharvest diseases. However, their extensive use has raised several concerns, such as the emergence of plant pathogens’ resistance as well as the health risks associated with the persistence of chemical residues in fruits, vegetables, and the environment.
