| A number of postharvest plant diseases, collectively known as storage rot, are caused by R. stolonifer and R. arrhizus. |
| In some places the plant is also grown as a forage or hay crop, and the stalks are commonly fed to livestock postharvest. |
| White mold is a postharvest disease that may show up in stored garlic. It is caused by the fungus Penicillium, which will sprorulate and spread. |
| Complementary postharvest and marketing training activities were undertaken to add further value to each maize and rice crop. |
| For heavy infestations, topping of plants before postharvest treatment may be advisable. |
| For long-term measures AfDB plans to increase water storage capacity, to develop irrigation and to reduce postharvest losses. |
