Diseases, physiological disorders, and injuries of plums marketed in metropolitan New York.

ABSTRACT :

 

Retail and consumer losses in 9 major cultivars of western plums marketed in metropolitan New York, USA, and sampled for 15 consecutive weeks during the 1983 and 1984 seasons averaged 4.2 and 5.0%, respectively, for a total market loss of 9.2%. Specific causes were parasitic diseases (3.4%), physiological disorders (2.1%) and injuries (3.7%). Total losses were higher in the cultivars Casselman and President than in Red Beaut, Santa Rosa, Eldorado, Simka, Friar, Italian Prune and Angelino. In a sample of 3 of the cultivars in 1992, total consumer losses were 4.7%, statistically unchanged from 1983-84 levels. The principal disease in both surveys was brown rot (Monilinia spp.), which caused up to 50% of the disease losses. Dehydrated and overripe fruit were the leading categories of physiological disorders; and bruising, cuts, punctures and freeze damage were chief categories of injury loss.
