The effect of harvest date and delayed cold storage on development of storage rot

Presentation on the effect of harvest date and delayed cold storage on the development of storage rots. The two year experiment show minor effect on firmness of both delayed picking and cold storage (within the normal picking window). In 2014 rots of the first pick were significantly increased by delaying cold storage, this was most likely due to higher ambient temperatures during the prolonged pre-storage period than was the case for the second pick. In 2015, when pre-storage temperatures were more similar for the two picks, fruits from the second pick were more prone to rots.
