Summary

Sound July Elberta peaches of uniform size were inoculated with the test fungi in lots using the Lancet method and storage according to various temperature regimes. The rot development was recorded regularly up to 10 days. Rhizopus stolonifer was the fastest spreading fungus, followed by Moniliania laxa, Aspergillus niger and Penicillium expansum. The results indicated that the transit and marketing of peaches at 25 to 30 °C would result in maximum rotting, but the deterioration of fruit could be prevented by holding for 4 days at 4-5 °C and these fruits could then be despatched at a transit temperature of 25 °C and marketed within the lag period of 6 days.
