first noted in Fall 2006 by a North Carolina grower. Once the incidence was discovered, ‘Covington’ storage root stocks from all of the Certified Seed Growers were evaluated in Feb. 2007. One farm, in which the original report of IN was made, had a high

horticulture. In the Ornithogalum production cycle, the first stage of bulb storage is the period immediately after bulb harvest and before shipping. The effects of temperature after lifting have been studied for a number of Ornithogalum species. Warm (25

storage life of blueberry fruit has previously been shown to be enhanced by harvesting less-mature fruit ( Ballinger et al., 1978 ; Beaudry et al., 1998 ; Galletta et al., 1971 ) and maintenance under a controlled atmosphere (CA) ( Beaudry et al., 1998

domesticated varieties as Takahashi (1984) concluded for wild and domesticated rice ( Oryza spp.). In domesticated flower seed crops, any minimal amount of dormancy that occurs is easily overcome by typical dry storage conditions used by flower seed

.S. Department of Agriculture Economic Research Service, 2020 ). To meet demand throughout the year, onions must be stored for extended periods of time to ensure a constant supply to retail markets. Effective storage at 0 °C and 65% to 75% relative humidity (RH

Multiple types of flesh browning can occur as storage disorders in ‘Honeycrisp’ apple ( Malus × domestica ) fruit. Three of the browning disorders that occur within the cortex have been previously described as “soggy breakdown” ( Watkins et al

quantify because of plant cultivar and cultural practices, which vary with locality, handling, storage, and marketing ( Maas, 1980 ). Fungi are significant pre- and postharvest decay organisms for strawberries. Botrytis berry rot (causal organism, Botrytis

by adding the yield per plant from each of three harvests. Total plant yield was not measured in ‘Legacy’ but was considered commercially acceptable according to grower records. Storage. The impact of treatments on fruit storage (“shelf life”) was

The primary functions of hypoxia (low oxygen) in the storage of perishables are to inhibit ethylene action, to reduce metabolic rate through respiratory inhibition, and to reduce cut surface browning ( Beaudry, 1999 , 2000 ; Burg and Burg, 1965

phytosanitary regulations for apples. The SA involves the cumulative effect of commercial operations to reduce the risk of possible pest infestation followed with validation by intense inspection. One area that can be exploited is the cold storage component
