The effects were tested of treatment with 60% carbon dioxide + 40% nitrogen at 35 deg C for 2, 4 and 8 h on the survival of Frankliniella occidentalis, melon aphids [Aphis gossypii], pupae of omnivorous leafroller [?Cnephasia longana] and 5th-instar larvae of codling moth [Cydia pomonella] and on the quality of 3 fruits (nectarines, pears and grapes), 3 vegetables (onions, broccoli and sweetcorn) and 9 flower crops. The trial demonstrated that the problems likely to be associated with implementation of controlled atmosphere disinfestation were: variability in plant response; variation in insecticidal efficacy in comparison with laboratory data; and difficulty in optimising treatment conditions across a variety of pests and produce.
