Deskripsi

Brown surface discoloration damage to Bartlett pears shipped in jumble-packed fiberboard cartons—during the 1955 season—caused complaints in eastern markets, particularly following rail shipments. Consequently, laboratory tests were conducted during the 1956 pear season to obtain information on the nature of the discoloration and its prevention.
