Résumé

Long life tomatoes at breaker stage, treated with 0.5 g/l iprodione or washed in water, were stored at 9, 12 or 20 deg C for up to 28 days. Fruit stored at 9 deg C were warmed to 20 deg C for 1 day every week, whereas fruit stored at 12 deg C were cooled to 2 deg C for 1 day every week. Fungicide treatment reduced decay and pitting on fruit stored more than 3 weeks. At 9 deg C, a slight synergistic effect on fruit pitting was observed from fungicide alone or fungicide plus intermittent warming. Compared with fruit stored at a constant 9 deg C, intermittently warmed tomatoes had better surface colour and flavour, were slightly less firm with less severe pitting, and were in better condition both at the end of the storage period and after a 3-day shelf-life.
