The most sensitive among these fruits was themandarin with 56.12% infection, followed by orange with 40.18%. On the other hand, the bitter orangeand the lemon showed more resistant to the disease, and the their infection percentages were (32.14% and30.55% respectively. The results indicated that the color of the bags had a great effect on the developmentof the disease where the infection percentages when using light green bags and light yellow bags were(19.68%, 17.24%) respectively. While for the dark black bags, the infection percentage was 13.73%. The useof porpolis in all concentrations (6, 8, 10, 12) g/l did not lessen the size of the infected area compared withcontaminated treatment by pathogen.
