Summary

Fruits of 7 cultivars grown in the Annapolis Valley, Nova Scotia, were stored: a) for 3 months at 3 deg C in air or standard controlled atmosphere (4.5% CO2 + 2.5% O2) in 1990; and b) for 4 months at 0 deg C in air, standard controlled atmosphere or low-O2 controlled atmosphere (1.5% CO2 + 1.5% O2) in 1991. Behaviour of each of the seven cultivars (Moira, Prima, Priscilla, Novaspy, Novamac, Nova Easygro, Macfree) is described as far as susceptibility to core browning, scald, bitter pit, vascular breakdown, rots and so on is concerned.
