Abstract

Although it is difficult to determine the full extent of postharvest losses due to diseases, conservative estimates place losses to fruits and vegetables from spoilage at 24% of the harvested crop in the United States (U.S. Dept. of Agriculture, 1965) and 50% in underdeveloped, tropical countries
