Electrolyzed sodium bicarbonate (eNaHCO₃) effectively controlled citrus green mould.

eNaHCO₃ inhibited conidia germination and germ tube elongation of P. digitatum.

eNaHCO3 triggered accumulation of ROS, collapse of mitochondrial membrane potential and decrease in intracellular ATP.

eNaHCO3 controlled infections even in absence of contact with P. digitatum.

eNaHCO₃ up-regulated genes coding chitinase, peroxidase, and PAL, increasing the activity of related enzymes.
