Responses of 'Marsh Seedless' grapefruit to prestorage CaCl2 treatments with or without fungicides.

ABSTRACT :

 

Results obtained with Marsh Seedless grapefruits stored for 3 months at 8 deg C and 90-95% RH and then exposed for 1 wk to 20 deg C and 75% RH to simulate shelf-life revealed no significant differences in the incidence of chilling injury following pretreatment with CaCl2 or imazalil (IMZ) compared with untreated fruits. Combined treatment, however, did lead to a significant increase in this disorder during shelf-life. CaCl2 promoted the development of rots, especially during the last week of storage and shelf-life. IMZ greatly inhibited the development of pathogens, and its effectiveness did not appear to be influenced by CaCl2 when used in combination with it. The overall physiological and chemical characteristics of the fruits revealed that fruits treated with CaCl2 aged more rapidly than untreated fruits. It was concluded that postharvest treatment with CaCl2 had no beneficial effect on maintaining fruit characteristics, which is in contrast to observations on other horticultural crops.
