Abstract
Carbon dioxide shows some promise as a fumigant for control of stored product insects and some of its properties and uses have been summarized by Monro (1969). Recently, horticulturists have shown that firmness in apples and cherries is retained longer when they are treated with carbon dioxide before storage (S. W. Porritt, Research Station, Agriculture Canada, Summerland, B.C., pers. comm.). Since the gas has favorable properties for use as a fumigant and leaves no residue in food, we examined its potential for killing pests on harvested apples.
