USE OF MODIFIED ATMOSPHERES TO CONTROL STORAGE ROT OF CARROT CAUSED BY SCLEROTINIA SCLEROTIORUM.

Author(s) : REELEDER R. D.

Type of article: Article, IJR article

Summary

CARROTS WERE STORED IN 5 DIFFERENT ATMOSPHERES: HIGH RELATIVE HUMIDITY, UNADJUSTED COLD ROOM ATMOSPHERE, AND 3 ATMOSPHERES WITH MODIFIED CO2 AND O2 CONCENTRATIONS. CONTAINERS FITTED WITH SILICONE MEMBRANESOF VARYING SURFACE AREAS WERE USED. CARROTS IN ONE-HALF OF THE CONTAINERS WERE INOCULATED WITH S. SCLEROTIORUM. THE EXPERIMENT WAS CARRIED OUT AT 274 K (1 DEG C) AND WAS TERMINATED AFTER 6 MONTHS. THE MEAN CO2/O2 PERCENTAGES FOR MODIFIED ATMOSPHERES WERE 1.17/14.19, 1.52/12.11, 3.03/4.57, 3.81/3.73, 4.26/4.47 AND 6.09/3.03% RESPECTIVELY. ALL MODIFIED CO2 AND O2 TREATMENTS PROVIDED BETTER CONTROL OF SCLEROTINIA ROT THAN DID HIGH RELATIVE HUMIDITY AND UNADJUSTED COLD ROOM ATMOSPHERE.
