Abstract
Waxes containing 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D), when applied to ‘Valencia Late’ orange and ‘Marsh Seedless’ grapefruit, were effective in preserving green buttons and in controlling stem end rot during prolonged storage. The effect of 2,4-D on grapefruit was evident in fruit stored at 10 and 12°C. In orange, the 2,4-D effect was especially evident in fruit stored at 17°C, a temp at which the incidence of rot is generally high.
Abstract
Ethylene degreening of both ‘Navel’ and ‘Shamouti’ oranges was severely retarded by waxing before, rather than after, degreening. No differences were noted between three commercial emulsion-type waxes.
Abstract
Incorporation of thiabendazole (TBZ) in the wax coating applied to grapefruit significantly reduced the amount of low temp pitting which developed during prolonged storage at 8 and 12°C.
