Harding, Jr, P R

Tests were run with ozone in the atmosphere of storage rooms that contained oranges and lemons in open wooden storage boxes and in fiberboard cartons. Excellent control of sporulation and some control of decay by Penicillium molds resulted in the open storage boxes with ozone at the 1.0 ppm level, but little control of sporulation and no control of decay resulted in vented cartons held in this concentration. Ozone gave no control of sporulation or decay in nonvented cartons. 6 references, 3 tables.
