His studies in Postharvest integrate themes in fields like Biotechnology and Biological pest control.

His work on Germ tube and Ripening as part of general Botany study is frequently connected to Ultraviolet light, Lesion and Rhizopus soft rot, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them. As a part of the same scientific study, Edo Chalutz usually deals with the Penicillium digitatum, concentrating on Monilinia fructicola and frequently concerns with Debaryomyces hansenii and Pome. His work on Pichia guilliermondii as part of general Yeast research is frequently linked to Agricultural commodity, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science.

Between 1994 and 2011, his most popular works were:

  • Commercial Testing of Aspire: A Yeast Preparation for the Biological Control of Postharvest Decay of Citrus (189 citations)
  • Effects of Ca2+ and Mg2+ on Botrytis cinerea and Penicillium expansum in vitro and on the biocontrol activity of Candida oleophila (137 citations)
  • Influence of CaCl2 on Penicillium digitatum, Grapefruit Peel Tissue, and Biocontrol Activity of Pichia guilliermondii (117 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Enzyme
  • Botany
  • Fungus

Edo Chalutz mostly deals with Postharvest, Penicillium digitatum, Spore germination, Microbiology and Monilinia fructicola. His Postharvest research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Fungicide and Metalaxyl. His Penicillium digitatum study is concerned with the field of Botany as a whole.

The various areas that Edo Chalutz examines in his Spore germination study include Penicillium expansum and Botrytis cinerea, [Candida] oleophila. His Microbiology study incorporates themes from Ripening, Inoculation, Debaryomyces hansenii and Fungus. His Horticulture study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Biotechnology and Penicillium.
