“…Cold storage has also been shown to be effective against some Lepidopterous pests such as oriental fruit moth in apple [84], Indianmeal moth and navel orange worm in nuts [85]. Cold storage was also shown to be effective against the mealybug, Pseudococcus affinis, in apples [86].…”

Purpose of review: The presence of arthropod pests in or on horticultural commodities has caused major disruptions in the storage, processing and shipment of these products. Management of these pests has posed a problem to humans for thousands of years. Current technology has led to the development of numerous means (chemical, mechanical or procedural) to control these pests. For the most part, postharvest pest control is focused on trade and exports. The accidental introduction of a pest into a place where it is not known to be present has resulted in the establishment of quarantine restrictions and export treatment requirements. This review focuses on the most current state of postharvest and quarantine treatments in development and currently in use on horticultural products. The current implementation and acceptance of these treatments is also addressed. Findings: Conventional postharvest pest control measures include treatments with chemical fumigants and topical pesticides. Concerns over environmental pollution and human health have obstructed the use of conventional chemicals and fumigants and further development of new chemicals for postharvest treatments. Irradiation is considered a conventional treatment, however, it does not use chemicals nor does it result in detectible residues in the commodity. Improvements in engineering commercial irradiators such as restricting source exposure, and the development of more powerful X-ray converters of electron beams, as well as refinement of generic treatments for groups of pests, had led to the expansion of this treatment to achieve quarantine goals. Directions for future research: Organic compliant postharvest treatments have received much attention and are the area of the most research. These treatments can include topical treatments with organic, natural pesticides and biologically derived fumigants, temperature extremes, modified atmospheres, and other novel physical treatments. The status of postharvest treatments for the control of arthropod pests both approved and in development is discussed.

“…Cool storage is effective against scale insects (L.E. Jamieson, unpublished data) and mealybugs (Hoy & Whiting 1996), but this is not practical for fruit that are to be marketed immediately (early supply kiwifruit), since it takes 30 days or more at a flesh temperature of 0.5°C or lower to achieve satisfactory mortality, and this tends to be less effective against mites (Jamieson et al 2009).…”

Global use of phosphine as a fumigant has increased in response to the need to replace methyl bromide and with the improved formulations ECO2FUME and VAPORPH3OS Phosphine is registered as a postharvest fumigant on kiwifruit in New Zealand and has been used commercially to reduce the risk of detecting live pests Scale insects mealybugs and diapausing twospotted spider mites were exposed to a range of phosphine treatments A 48h low temperature (1746C) fumigation (64083311 ppm) achieved 100 mortality of all life stages of oleander scale insects while a 12h exposure killed all longtailed mealybug life stages A 36h low temperature (2533C) fumigation (43322712 ppm) treatment achieved 100 mortality of all greedy scale insect life stages A 48 to 96h treatment (36001200 ppm) at 115C caused 913100 mortality of diapausing twospotted spider mite adults Use of phosphine as a commercial treatment for kiwifruit is discussed

“…Physical treatments are typically applied to fresh fruits because these commodities are infested by internally feeding pests, such as tephritid fruit flies, and cold treatment is an effective measure in cold-tolerant commodities [11,12]. The pupa and adult stages of tephritid fruit flies may hardly be found in infested fruit, and phytosanitary treatments target the egg and larval stages for disinfestation [13].Research studies have demonstrated that cold disinfestation is an effective approach in controlling Bactrocera zonata (Saunders) in orange [14,15]; Bactrocera invadens (Drew, Tsuruta, and White) (synonym of B. dorsalis) in orange, and "Hass" avocado [15][16][17]; Zeugodacus cucurbitae (Coquillett) (former Bactrocera cucurtitae (Coquillett)) in navel orange [13]; Bactrocera tryoni (Froggatt) in lemon, orange, mandarin, and blueberry [18][19][20]; Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann) in kiwifruit, litchi, lemon, orange, mandarin, grape, pepper, "Hass" avocado, and navel orange [13,[20][21][22][23][24][25][26]; Ceratitis rosa (Karsch) in "Hass" avocado [26]; Ceratitis cosyra (Walker) in "Hass" avocado [26]; Phthorimaea operculella (Zeller) in potato [27]; and Pseudococcus affinis (Maskell) on Royal Gala Apple [28]. The effective lethal time value for cold disinfestation was dependent on the type of insect and fruit [29].…”

Citrus sinensis (L.) Osbeck is an important economic product in South China, but the presence of quarantine pests in this product proposes the potential threat to international trade security. To find a proper phytosanitary cold treatment for Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel) (Diptera: Tephritidae), commonly called oriental fruit fly, one of the most serious quarantine insects in navel orange, eggs in petri dish and larvae in navel orange fruits were exposed to a 1.7 • C cold chamber for 0-11 days to compare the tolerance to cold treatment. The 2nd instar larva (4 days) is the most tolerant stage, and the estimated time for 99.9968% mortality at the 95% confidence level is 11.3 (9.5, 14.6) days. Then 15 days was selected as the target time for the confirmatory tests, resulting in no survivors from 37,792 treated larvae with the efficacy of 99.9921% mortality at the 95% confidence level. The quality assessments were conducted to compare the effect on the navel orange fruit between cold treatment and the conventional cold storage. Results indicated that the cold treatment did not negatively affect the fruit quality. Therefore, this cold treatment showed potential as a commercial quarantine treatment for navel orange in international trade.Insects 2019, 10, 452 2 of 10 workers on 104,000 ha that produced 1,170,000 tons [9]. Unfortunately, B. dorsalis is a potential pest in the navel orange, threatening the safety of the navel orange export [5].The risk of introducing exotic pests into new areas is rising in the wake of the increasing agricultural trade, and the development of postharvest treatment to control insects in commodities can improve the quarantine security and expedite new trade in agricultural products. The main pest management approaches for eliminating exotic insects from a commodity are applied broadly as chemical and physical treatments. These include fumigants, temperature treatments (heat and cold), irradiation, controlled atmospheres, and combinations of these [10]. Methyl bromide fumigation is the most common approach for controlling exotic pests but is expected to be replaced by physical treatments because of methyl bromide depleting the ozone layer [10]. Physical treatments are typically applied to fresh fruits because these commodities are infested by internally feeding pests, such as tephritid fruit flies, and cold treatment is an effective measure in cold-tolerant commodities [11,12]. The pupa and adult stages of tephritid fruit flies may hardly be found in infested fruit, and phytosanitary treatments target the egg and larval stages for disinfestation [13].Research studies have demonstrated that cold disinfestation is an effective approach in controlling Bactrocera zonata (Saunders) in orange [14,15]; Bactrocera invadens (Drew, Tsuruta, and White) (synonym of B. dorsalis) in orange, and "Hass" avocado [15][16][17]; Zeugodacus cucurbitae (Coquillett) (former Bactrocera cucurtitae (Coquillett)) in navel orange [13]; Bactrocera tryoni (Froggatt) in lemon, orange, mandarin, and blueberry [18][19][20]...
