Author(s) : PHILLIPS D. J.

Type of article: Article, IJR article

Summary

THE MINIMUM AMMONIA CONCENTRATION THAT INJURES STONE FRUIT RANGES FROM 0.04 TO 0.3%, DEPENDING ON THE FRUIT QUALITY AND TIME OF EXPOSURE TO THE GAS. THE SYMPTOMS OF AMMONIA DAMAGE, ESPECIALLY SEVERAL DAYS AFTER EXPOSURE, MAY BE SIMILAR TO THOSE OF OTHER INJURIOUS MATERIALS FOUND IN THE POST-HARVEST ENVIRONMENT, SUCH AS EXCESSIVE EXPOSURE TO FUMIGANTS OR TO DETERGENTS USED TO WASH FRUIT IN THE PACKING HOUSE. THE AUTHOR INVESTIGATED TWO SIMPLE QUALITATIVE CHEMICAL TESTS TO DETECT AMMONIA RESIDUES.
