Postharvest Behavior of Highbush Blueberry Fruits cv. O’Neal Cultivated with Different Organic Fertilization Treatments
Considering the increasing demand for organic products and the fact that Chile is far from export markets, fresh fruits of highbush blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum L. x Vaccinium darrowii Camp) from organic fertilization were stored at 3 °C and 90% RH for 30 d in modified atmosphere (MA) and convent...
