ILOS ULO as a practical technology for apples’scald prevention    Initial low oxygen stress (ILOS) followed by ultra low oxygen (ULO) regimes has been applied for many years o­n small quantities of Red Delicious apples grown at 600 m altitude in Val di Non valley in Trento province (Italy).The positive results, obtained in more than six years of commercial tests, in terms of superficial scald prevention and inhibition, were confirmed by the scientific evaluations done by the extension service technicians of IASMA (Istituto Agrario San Michele all’ Adige).

In 2001 and 2002 the AVN Cooperative, together with IASMA and FCE (Fruit Control Equipments), in active interaction decided to apply definitely the operating procedures for ILOS + ULO o­n the CA storage rooms of Red apples, for a total amount of fruits of more than 600,000 kg.Over 6 months storage period of each year, with 2 weekly intervals, fruits were evaluated directly at site by the Cooperative technician during 15 days of regular storage at 20 °C, while at the same time other laboratory tests were carried out at IASMA.Results were always positive and well accepted by the Cooperative.All techniques involving no-chemical solutions are considered of primary importance for AVN, in accordance with their rigid integrated production protocol.It is therefore confirmed that ILOS + ULO is practically applicable in harmony with qualified technological solutions, validated by IASMA with their o­n-site extension service and laboratory evaluations, supported furthermore by the Customers’ satisfaction.A non-chemicals application, whenever possible, is beneficial to the Consumers’ health.
