In the first year of study, Valencia orange fruits were treated with 0 or 200 ppm 2,4-D. In the second year, the following treatments were applied after harvest: 0, 100, 200 or 400 ppm 2,4-D; 200 ppm 2,4-D + 100 ppm GA3; or 400 ppm 2,4-D + 100 ppm GA3. The fruits were wrapped in paper and put in cardboard boxes, then placed in a cold store at 4 deg C and 85-90% RH for 5 months. Fruit quality criteria, such as juice content (%), acidity (%), pH, TSS (%) and physiological and pathological losses were determined at monthly intervals during storage. Results showed that 200 ppm 2,4-D + and the 2,4-D + GA3 treatments were the most effective for keeping the green button and reducing fruit rotting.
