Low hormetic doses of ultraviolet light (254 nm, WV-C) reduced postharvest decay of pome, stone, and citrus fruits. Loring and Elberta peaches, Golden Delicious apples, Marsh Seedless grapefruits, and Dancy tangerines were irradiated with selected low UV-C doses and stored. The application of UV-C reduced postharvest decay which included: brown rot (Monilinia fructicola) of peaches; Alternaria rot (Alternaria spp.), bitter rot (Colletotrichum gloeosporioides) of apples and brown rot (Monilinia spp.) of apples; green mold rot (Penicillium digitatum) of grape fruits and tangerines; and stem end rot (Alternaria citri) and sour rot (Geotrichum candidum) of tangerines.
