“…Benschoter (1987) reported that the mortality of eggs and larvae of Caribbean fruit ßy [Anastrepha suspensa (Loew)], a species closely related to apple maggot, could be 100% when specimens held in laboratory diet medium were exposed to highconcentration CO 2 atmospheres at temperatures between 10 Ð15.6ЊC for relatively short periods of time (10 d or less). Similar Þndings have been reported in tests with mites (Lidster et al 1981, Whiting andvan den Heuvel 1995), San Jose scale, Quadraspidiotus perniciosus (Comstock) (Gaunce et al 1982), thrips (Potter et al 1994, Mitcham et al 1997, and tortricid apple pests including codling moth, Cydia pomonella (L.) (Soderstrom et al 1990) and light brown apple moth, Epiphyas postvittana (Walker) (Whiting et al 1991). A direct relationship has been reported in several studies between arthropod pest mortality and the temperature at which the high-CO 2 treatment is administered (Harein and Press 1968;Marzke et al 1970;Morgan and Gaunce 1975;Soderstrom et al 1986Soderstrom et al , 1990Whiting et al 1991Whiting et al , 1999Whiting and van den Heuvel 1995;Yahia and Ortega-Zaleta 2000).…”

Other studies have focused more on treatments of elevated temperature and low O 2 without high CO 2 levels [e.g., LayYee et al 1997 for E. postvittana and the mirid, Nysius huttoni (White)] or without noting an effect of elevating the CO 2 [Shellie et al 1997, on Mexican fruit ßy, A. ludens (Loew)].…”

“…Investigators working with arthropod pests in several taxonomic groups (Harein and Press 1968, Marzke et al 1970, Lidster et al 1981, Soderstrom et al 1986, Whiting et al 1991, Whiting and van den Heuvel 1995, Shellie et al 1997, Yahia and OrtegaZaleta 2000 have noted either signiÞcantly increased mortality effects of high-CO 2 atmospheres when the O 2 concentration is lowered from 2Ð5% to 1%, or a more signiÞcant effect of the low-O 2 than the high-CO 2 atmosphere component. Inasmuch as the variation in our O 2 concentrations was greater than an optimal Ϯ10%, the otherwise relatively small O 2 differences in the treatment atmoshperes could have had a relatively large impact on insect response.…”

Short-term storage regimens containing elevated atmospheres of carbon dioxide (CO2) were evaluated for their ability to disinfest newly harvested 'McIntosh' apples of apple maggot, Rhagoletis pomonella (Walsh). Infested fruits containing newly laid eggs were either placed directly into the high-CO2 atmosphere at 10 degrees C to expose this life stage, or else held first for 7 d at room temperature, to allow development to the neonate larval stage. Treatment combinations consisted of three different CO2 levels (10.6, 14.9, and 19.0% CO2) and two periods of exposure (7 and 14 d). Apple maggot eggs subjected to the treatments always exhibited some survival, which was lower for the 14-d than the 7-d exposure periods. In contrast, newly hatched larvae were less able to survive the treatments. The 7-d exposure allowed low levels of survival of this life stage, but virtually none survived the 14-d exposure period. To determine the age at which eggs become more susceptible to high-CO2 atmospheres, infested fruits containing eggs three or 3d old were submitted to a 14-d exposure to 19.0% CO2. Survival of 3-d old eggs was similar to that of eggs exposed at an age of 1 d or less, but this dropped to near zero for 5-d old eggs, indicating an increase in susceptibility sometime during the 3-5-d age range. Fruits exposed to 19.0% CO2 for 14 d were significantly firmer than untreated fruits. No apparent browning, internal breakdown or other fruit defects were detected in any of the treatments.

“…CA treatments reduce the time necessary for 100% kill of the pest compared with heat treatment alone Mitcham 1996, Neven 2005); and by decreasing the duration of the treatment, a combination treatment of this type can often reduce adverse effects on fruit quality caused by heat treatment Shellie et al 2001;Yahia 2000a,b,c). Combination heat and CA treatment research has increased in recent years (Neven and Mitcham 1996;Shellie et al 2001, Shellie et al 1997, Whiting and Hoy 1997Drake 1998, 2000;Yahia 2000a,b,c;Whiting et al 1999;Neven et al 2001;Heather et al 2002;Neven 2004Neven , 2005Obenland et al 2005), indicating the applicability of this technology for a wide range of fruit.…”

Combined Heat and Controlled Atmosphere Quarantine Treatments for Control of Western Cherry Fruit Fly in Sweet Cherries

Nonchemical quarantine treatments, using a combination of short duration high temperatures under low oxygen, elevated carbon dioxide atmospheric environment were developed to control western cherry fruit fly, Rhagoletis indifferens Curran, in sweet cherries, Prunus avium (L.). The two treatments developed use a chamber temperature of 45 degrees C for 45 min and a chamber temperature of 47 degreesd C for 25 min, both under a 1% oxygen, 15% carbon dioxide, -2 degrees C dew point environment. Both these treatments have been shown to provide control of all life stages of western cherry fruit fly while preserving commodity market quality. There was no definitive egg or larval stage, which was demonstrated to be the most tolerant to either controlled atmosphere temperature treatment system treatment. Efficacy tests for both treatments resulted in 100% mortality of >5000 western cherry fruit flies in each treatment. These treatments may provide, with further study, quarantine security in exported sweet cherries where western cherry fruit fly is a quarantine concern and fumigation with methyl bromide is not desired.

“…Whereas, in recent years, the heat treatment techniques (placing under hot water and hot air for a specific time before storage) have successfully been applied to a number of fruit and vegetable storage processes including apple 25,31 , banana 3 , cherry 26 , mangoes 9,16,28 , peaches 10 , orange 17,19,20 , tomato 5,19,20,23 , potato 6 , and grapefruit 30 . This is probably due to the production of heat shock proteins in the living tissues, which led to a reduction in water loss during storage 4,11,27 .…”

This paper presents the results of a survey on the situation of farmers, their problems and feasibility of heat stress techniques during storage of fruits and vegetables in Pakistan. In addition, consumer perception was also surveyed regarding availability and quality of stored fruits and vegetables. The survey, which was conducted at Dera Ismail Khan District of Pakistan's North West Frontier Province during 2004, revealed that most of the farmers sell all their produce in the market just after harvest. This might be either due to the unavailability of storage facilities or the high cost to store low and medium value fruits/vegetables. High electricity costs and frequent power cuts further raised the storage prices. However, among different methods practiced locally, sun drying was the most popular method. Regarding consumer perception, the majority were not satisfied about availability of fruits and vegetables in the market all the year round. Lack of storage facilities, damages that occurred during transportation, improper packaging, the role of middlemen, and huge influx of produce in a short time were the major reasons given for reducing availability of fruits and vegetables to consumers on the one hand and lowering returns to growers on the other. The growers demanded subsidized governmental storage facilities to store their agricultural commodities.
