Book synopsis

Postharvest treatments are required to disinfest fruits, vegetables, nuts, flowers and ornamental plants of quarantined insects, such as various tephritid fruit flies, prior to export. This text 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. The book is directed at academics and research workers in entomology and horticulture, as well as quarantine officers.
