Résumé

Temperatures were monitored during 66 delivery trips in 2 trucks transporting potted plants. Compared with the thermostat setpoint of 16 deg C, the mean delivery trip temperatures varied between 11.3 and 21.6 deg C with up to 3 deg C differences within the body of a truck at any one time. These temperature differences indicated that air circulation was poor. To ensure good temperature distribution, it was concluded that warm air must be supplied from the bottom of the truck body and cold air from the top. It was also concluded that lack of temperature management in trucks would also reduce the post production life of plants without causing any direct physical damage to the plants.
