“…The two major pests of quarantine concern in sweet cherries grown in the Pacific Northwest are codling moth (CM) (Cydia pomonella) and Western cherry fruit fly (WCFF) (Rhagoletis indifferens). Codling moth is a lesser concern on sweet cherries, because sweet cherries are known to be a poor host for CM (Hansen and Rehmke, 2003). Western cherry fruit fly is a risk, but there is a zero tolerance for this pest in the orchard and at the packing shed.…”

Organic production of pome and stone fruits in the United States has greatly increased during the past few years. To compete and enter lucrative export markets, these fruit must meet stringent quarantine requirements. For some countries, these requirements dictate that the fruit crops must be treated with a synthetic chemical fumigant, which is not compliant with organic standards. Therefore, nonchemical quarantine treatments for organically produced pome and stone fruits have been developed using the Controlled Atmosphere/Temperature Treatment System (or CATTS) technology. This technology applies a short-term heat treatment under a low-O2/high-CO2 environment, and is effective in controlling the most prominent quarantine insect pests while maintaining commodity quality. The technology has progressed beyond laboratory-scale research units to 1- to 2-ton commercial units. The development of these treatments and their effect on both insect mortality and commodity quality are discussed.

“…J apan is a primary market for exports of fresh sweet cherries from the Pacifi c states. Even though larvae of the codling moth may not occur naturally in cherries (Hansen and Lewis, 2003;Hansen et al, 2003;Wearing and McLaren, 2001;, quarantine regulations require that domestic sweet cherries must be fumigated with methyl bromide before export to Japan Moffi t et al, 1992). However, the future of methyl bromide is uncertain because of environmental health concerns, and international agreements restrict the production and use of this product (United Nations Environmental Programme, 1992).…”

ADDITIONAL INDEX WORDS. Cydia pomonella, heat treatment, quarantine, fruit quality SUMMARY. Quarantine regulations require domestic sweet cherries (Prunus avium) exported to Japan to be treated to control codling moth [Cydia pomonella (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae)]. The current procedure, methyl bromide fumigation, may be discontinued because of health, safety, and environmental concerns. To examine a potential alternative method, 'Bing' sweet cherries were each infested with a codling moth larva, submerged in a 38 °C water bath for 6 minutes pretreatment, then exposed to various temperatures generated by radio frequency and held at that temperature for different times: 50 °C for 6 minutes, 51.6 °C for 4 minutes, 53.3 °C for 0.5 minutes, and 54.4 °C for 0.5 minutes. Insect mortality was evaluated 24 hours after treatment and fruit quality was evaluated after treatment and after 7 and 14 days of storage at 1 °C. No larvae survived at the 50 and 51.6 °C treatments. Fruit color of non-infested cherries was darkened as temperature increased. Stem color was severely impacted after 7 days of storage, even in a warm water bath of 38 °C for 6 minutes, as was fruit fi rmness at the same treatment. Fruit quality loss increased after 14 days of storage, compared to after 7 days of storage. The amount of pitting and bruising of cherries increased with temperature and again this increase was more evident after 14 days of storage.
