Development of a high temperature controlled atmosphere quarantine treatment for pome and stone fruits.

The research presented describes how a technology called Controlled Atmosphere Temperature Treatment System (CATTS) can be used as a quarantine treatment against insect pests of apples (cultivars Delicious, Golden Delicious, Granny Smith, Fuji and Gala), pears (cv. d'Anjou) and sweet cherries [Prunus avium] (cultivars Bing and Rainier). High temperature forced air has not been useful for these temperate fruits because the heat dose required to kill the target insect pests (codling moth, [Cydia pomonella] and western cherry fruit fly, [Rhagoletis cerasi]) caused unacceptable damage to fruit market quality. Heating a commodity in a controlled atmosphere was shown to reduce the heat dose required for controlling the insect pest without damaging fruit quality.
