Postharvest Factors Governing the Development of Peteca Rind Pitting on `Meyer' Lemons

BL Wild

Open full text 11 citations

Abstract

The postharvest development of peteca rind pitting in `Meyer' lemons [Citrus meyeri (Y.) Tan] was aggravated by citrus wax application and fruit brushing. Increasing brushing time increased the incidence of the disorder. Polyethylene-based waxes induced more peteca than carnauba-based wax formulations. Ethylene degreening and/or storage before waxing decreased fruit susceptibility, while application of the fungicide guazatine did not increase peteca incidence. Storage between 10 and 25C had no effect on injury levels. Chemical name used: bis(8-guanidino-octyl) amine (guazatine).
