Benzothiadiazole (BTH) works as a plant activator. The effects of different BTH treatments and fungicides SPORGON on fruit ripening and disease incidence were investigated. The results showed that BTH treatment significantly delayed fruit ripening, maintained fruit firmness, color, and good fruit quality, and dramatically reduced the incidence of disease. BTH effectively inhibited the invasion and development of pathogenic bacteria and controlled the occurrence of disease. BTH treatment enhanced the activities of defense-related enzymes, including chitinase, phenylalanine ammonia-lyase, peroxidase, and polyphenol oxidase, increased the content of hydrogen peroxide and total antioxidant capacity, and reduced malondialdehyde content. Cellular structure analysis after inoculation confirmed that BTH treatment effectively maintained the cell structural integrity. SPORGON did not provide benefits for delaying fruit ripening or for the resistance system, while it can control the disease only during the earlier stage and not at later stages.
