Abstract

Excerpts from the report: With the thought that overseas sales might be increased if better handling and transportation practices based on concrete experiments were used, the Florida Citrus Exchange and the Florida Citrus Mutual requested the U. S. Department of Agriculture to undertake shipping tests to determine how Florida citrus fruits should be handled to assure sound delivery at European markets and a reasonably long shelf life in the retail stores there. In response to this request, the Department, in cooperation with the Florida Citrus Commission and the Florida Citrus Experiment Station, conducted 9 shipping tests to Rotterdam, The Netherlands, during the 1954-55 crop year. In these tests, studies were made on the effect of quality of fruit packed, kind of package, precooling, fungicidal treatments, and temperature on board ship on the condition of the fruit at destination. Tests also were conducted under controlled conditions at Orlando, Fla. , on the effect of temperature and fungicidal treatments on decay and quality of fruit.
