Reduction of Post-Harvest Injuries Caused by <i>Drosophila suzukii</i> in Some Cultivars of Sweet Cherries Using a High Carbon Dioxide Level and Cold Storage

Efficient strategies are required in sweet cherry fruits to control the spotted wing drosophila (SWD), <i>Drosophila suzukii</i>, due to its adverse economic effect on farmers. Cold storage (CS) and storage with elevated carbon dioxide (CO<sub>2</sub>) are environmentally saf...
