Summary

Air-cooled carambolas required more than 24 hours to cool to the treatment temperature of 1.1 deg C, while water-cooled fruits required only about 45 minutes. Larval mortality from cold-water-treated fruit reached probit 9 in 8 days, about 2-3 the time (13 days) required for the same level of mortality of larvae in air-cooled fruits. This difference in mortality is probably due to the rapidity of the cooling. It may be possible to use this modification to shorten the current cold treatment of 12 days at 1.1 deg C for Florida carambolas.
