摘要
The time required to degreen Florida ''Bearss'' lemons can be greatly reduced by the use of 1-10 ppm ethylene at 25 or 30.degree. C. Degreening was accomplished in 2-3 days instead of the 2-3 wk required with the current commercial practice of cool coloring at 150.degree. C without ethylene. Applications of a benzimidazole fungicide (thiabendazole, benomyl) prior to degreening adequately controlled decay. Rapid degreening with ethylene at higher temperatures (25.degree. or 30.degree.) eliminates the need for cool coloring storage and brings lemon availability more nearly in phase with consumer demand.
