Journal Title: Revista Verde de Agroecologia e Desenvolvimento Sustentável - Year 2017, Vol 12, Issue 2
Abstract
In the Northeast it is common the use of inadequate packaging for fruit transportation, causing injuries that serve as pathogen gateway. This study aimed to evaluate the incidence of rot, fungal severity and occurrence in guava 'Paluma' transported in two types of packaging. Fruits were collected at farm Mocó, Aparecida – PB during maturation "of time," and subjected to treatment by impact through the fall height of 85 cm under industrial floor, featuring treatments: T1, fruits subjected to impact, packaging in plastic polyethylene box; T2, fruits subjected to impact, packing in cardboard box; T3, fruit without impact, packaging in plastic polyethylene box; T4, fruit without impact, packing in cardboard box; T5, witness, fruit without mechanical injury. These were carried by 45 km, to the Phytopathology Laboratory of CCTA. The results show that the severity of the treatment T1 differs significantly from the others. The T1 and T2 had a higher incidence of decayed fruits.
