Managing storage scald in Anjou pears

Author: Eugene Kupferman

Published: 2006

Summary: The five specific objectives were: 1. Predict the risk of storage scald through knowledge of preharvest temperatures. 2. Determine the timing of antioxidant application using fruit with different risk levels. 3. Determine the effectiveness of applying antioxidants as a bin drench. 4. Determine the potential for chemical burn from antioxidants and fungicides applied as bin drenches. 5. Evaluate the use of thermofogging to control storage scald and decay (2006 crop).
