Summary: The objectivie for this project were: 1. Determine treatment conditions (concentration, duration, temperature) to maximize responses of PNW apple cultivars to MCP. 2. Determine duration of responses when treated fruit are stored in RA and CA conditions. 3. Determine impact of MCP treatments on fruit physiological disorders and decay, and develop protocols utilizing existing or new technologies to mitigate or complement the impacts of MCP.
