Summary

Of the temperatures tested, storing pears at 0 deg C was the most effective for controlling postharvest fungi. The fruits were free from decay until 45 days of storage and only 2.2% of fruits rotted after 60 days. After 2 months of storage at 5 deg C 6.8% of fruit had rotted. At 10 deg C fruit had started to rot after 15 days and storage temperature greater than 10 deg C caused rapid decay and deterioration. Of the pathogens isolated from rotten fruit Botrytis cinerea, Morilinia laxa and Glomerella cingulata were the most common at 0-5, 25 and 30 deg C respectively.
