The rising world population is getting agriculture even more intensive, with the use of fertilizers and products to pests and disease control. Due to the vast global information with the Internet, even more, people are looking for healthy products, more specifically organic fruits and vegetables. A problem present in the production is the occurrence of diseases in the field and post-harvest, getting production losses to the farmer and the seller. The most used way to cope with the diseases is the usage of chemical fungicides, since copper- and sulfur-based formulations until the novel synthetic compounds. These cannot be used on organic farms.
