Summary

An increase in harvest maturity was associated with increased susceptibility to Aspergillus and Rhizopus infection. Increasing RH had an inconsistent effect on infection potential and longer wetness periods were associated with a consistent increase in decay potential. Both fungi developed on berries stored at 7.5 °C for 14 days but growth was inhibited at -0.5 and 3 °C.
