Inhaltsangabe

Postharvest treatments are required to disinfest fruits, vegetables, nuts, flowers and ornamental plants of quarantined insects prior to export. These insect pests, such as various tephritid fruit flies, are of quarantine importance because either they are absent from the importing country or that country has a zero tolerance for all live insects. This book considers the various treatment technologies and strategies and the effect that these have on the insects and the produce. Treatments include the promotion of pest-free zones and natural resistance, and the use of fumigation, irradiation, insecticides, extremes of temperature, controlled or modified atmospheres, and combinations of these. Current research, directed at prolonging postharvest life of the commodity and maintaining its quality, is thoroughly assessed through detailed reviews of the literature. The book is a comprehensive work directed at academics and research workers in entomology and horticulture, as well as quarantine officers.
