Abstract
Gibberellic acid (GA3) was found effective in reducing low temperature breakdown in stored apples when it was applied as a dip in aqueous or ethanolic solution or in wax emulsion. The levels of GA 3 examined, which ranged from 2 to 80 µmole/fruit, all reduced breakdown to the same extent.Keywords
