This review deals in detail about the post-harvest fungal diseases of guava fruits. Guava fruit is highly perishable so it suffers from a number of fungal diseases. Fungal diseases spoils guava fruits. Post-harvest fungi deteriorate the biochemical composition of fruit. Environmental factors viz., temperature and relative humidity affects the growth of post-harvest fungi. Several biological treatments has been tried for control the post-harvest fungi.
