Author(s) : MCDONALD B.

Summary

USING POLYTHENE FILM, A WOODEN OR PVC PIPE FRAMEWORK, AND STAINLESS STEEL TROUGHS INSERTED IN THE FLOOR, CONSTRUCTION IS SIMPLE AND ECONOMICAL. CONTROLLED CIRCULATION BY LARGE SLOW-SPEED FANS GIVES ADEQUATE CIRCULATION FOR HEAT REMOVAL THROUGH THE PLASTIC FILM. HIGH RELATIVE HUMIDITIES ARE ATTAINED, HOLDING WEIGHT LOSSES TO AS LOW AS 1% OVER A 5 MONTH STORAGE PERIOD (APPLE, KIWIFRUIT), GIVING SUPERIOR QUALITY FRUIT. THE VARIOUS CONSTRUCTION TECHNIQUES ARE EXPLAINED.
