Summary: The objective of this project was: To establish protocols for conditioning pre-packed loads of Anjou pears using Ethylene Release Capsules (ERCs) at three different times during the pear season (fall, winter, spring*). *N.B. The spring trial was dropped, with agreement from the Fresh Pear Committee, based on advice from our collaborating packer/shipper that it was unlikely that conditioned fruit in spring would survive delivery in a saleable state.
