Effect of the Cooling System and 1-MCP on the Incidence of Superficial Scald in ’Granny Smith’ Apples
A study was carried out to determine the effects of two cooling systems and the application of 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP, SmartFreshTM) on the incidence of superficial scald in apples (Malus domestica Borkh.) cv. Granny Smith. Fruit were collected from a commercial orchard (Colbún, Maule Region, C...
