Type of article: Article

Summary

Pods of 5 okra cultivars were stored for 8 days in 12.7-micrometer-thick high density polyethylene (HDPE) bags or plastic dome-lid boxes, at 3 or 12.5 deg C and 80% RH. Pods stored in HDPE bags developed less chilling injury at 3 deg C than pods stored in plastic boxes. No decay developed in pods stored at 3 deg C. At a storage temperature of 12.5 deg C, pods stored in HDPE bags developed more decay than pods stored in plastic boxes. Differences between cultivars are described.
