Normal dosage and tinder-dosage sprays of ziram (Rodisan SC); cooper oxychloride (Coprantol BR) and fenbutatin oxide (Torque 500 SC), isolately or in association with Ajifol, a foliar fertilizer from molasses glutamic fermentation, provided efficient control of scab, melanose and leprosis in 'Pera' orange. Sprays of Ajifol at 0.25 and 5% had no effect on the rate of occurrence of scab and melanose, but was correlated with increases in the rates of fruits with symptoms of leprosis, number of leprosis spots per fruit, and the number of leprosis mites (Brevipalpus phoenicis Geijskes) on leaves and fruits.
