Summary: The objectives of this project were: 1. Refine the methodology of thermofogging of the antioxidant ethoxyquin into pear storage rooms by varying the timing, concentration and fan cycling. 2. Determine whether the phytotoxicity of ethoxyquin can be reduced by rinsing the fruit after it has been drenched (“split-drenching”). 3. Correlate residue levels with incidence of storage scald.
