Rhizopus soft rot (Rhizopus stolonifer) is a widely distributed thread-like Mucoralean mold. Commonly found on bread surfaces, it takes food and nutrients from the bread and causes damage to the surface where it lives.
Rhizopus soft rot occurs as large water-soaked areas which become soft and sunken in time. Gray whiskery mold with dusty black spores may grow on the fruit surface and within the seed cavity.
Postharvest fungicide applications are effective against Rhizopus soft rot. Avoid injuring fruit during harvesting and handling and maintain proper temperature control during storage and transit.
