Summary

Tolerances of peach and nectarine fruits to insecticidal controlled atmospheres were determined by the time before occurrence of visual injury and/or off-flavor. The tolerances of "John Henry" peaches, "Fantasia" nectarines, "Fire Red" peaches, "O'Henry" peaches, "Royal Giant" nectarines, and "Flamekist" nectarines to 0.25% O2 (balance nitrogen) at 20 deg C were 2.8, 4.0, 4.0, 4.4, 5.1, and 5.2 days, respectively. "Fairtime" peaches tolerated 0.21% O2 + 99% CO2 at 20 deg C for 3.8 days, 0.21% O2 + 99% CO2 at 0 deg C for 5 days, 0.21% O2 at 20 deg C for 6 days, and 0.21% O2 at 0 deg C for up to 19 days.
