Abstract
A 15-min, 50°C hot-water immersion treatment was developed as an alternative quarantine treatment to ethylene dibromide fumigation for ‘Brazilian’ variety bananas against the Mediterranean fruit fly, Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann), the melon fly, Dacus cucurbitae Coquillett, and the oriental fruit fly, D. dorsalis Hendel. The hot-water immersion disinfested ‘Brazilian’ variety bananas without detriment to either fruit quality or shelf life.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
