During the past 50 years, uses of controlled atmospheres (CA) and modified atmospheres (MA) to supplement temperature and relative humidity management have increased steadily and have contributed significantly to extending the postharvest life and maintaining quality of several fruits and vegetables. This trend is expected to continue as technological advances are made in attaining and maintaining CA and MA during transport, storage, and marketing of fresh produce. Several refinements in CA storage have been made in recent years to improve quality maintenance. The present book incorporates chapters covering latest information on the varied aspects of fruit physiology, like diagnosis and management of physiological disorders in fruit production and physiology of fruit crops
