Abstract Significant amounts of stylar-end breakdown in Persian limes were induced by exposure to elevated temperatures such as 100 and 110 F. or by the intentional bruising of the fruit on the stylar end.

Data followed by different letters are significantly different at the 5% level ( }. The purpose of this investigation was to gain insight into the rate and extent of development of stylar-end breakdown in limes subjected to increasing temperatures and the effect of con trolled stylar-end bruising. Materials and Methods Persian limes were harvested from groves in the Homestead, Fla., area. Controlled bruising was accomplished by pressing the surface of a wooden block against the stylar end of each lime with a pressure of 30 lbs., as measured by a pressure tester (6). Replicated samples of limes were placed in several chambers ranging from 50 to 110 F. Relative humidity in the chambers ranged from 80 to 95% as measured by an electric hygrograph. Fruit were inspected at various intervals from 1 to 14 days. Table 1 gives the details of the 4 tests. Results and Discussion Test 1. High temperatures accelerated the development of stylar-end breakdown in Persian limes (Table 2). Limes developed 100 percent stylar-end breakdown after 1 day at 110 F, with and without bruising. Conversely, stylarend breakdown did not develop in limes until the sixth day at 50, and then in only the bruised fruit. At 70 limes had slightly more stylar-end breakdown than at 50, but the difference was not significant; at 100 breakdown was significantly higher than at 70. The cumulative effect of bruising was also apparent and was significant in limes held at 100 for more than 2 days. Test 2. Table 3 shows the relationship be tween holding temperature and stylar-end break down, using limes selected a month later than those used in Test 1. Significantly more stylarend breakdown developed in limes held at 100

Conclusion Losses from stylar-end breakdown of limes can be minimized by careful handling to avoid bruising and by refregeration as soon as possible after picking. LITERATURE CITED 1. Conover, R.

STRINGFELLOW Plantation Field Laboratory University of Florida Fort Lauderdale D. 0. WOLFENBARGER Sub-Tropical Experiment Station University of Florida Homestead Abstract Seven insecticides and a number of dosage and application procedures were evaluated for control of the Caribbean fruit fly attacking peaches, Suriam-cherry, and guavas. Applications made with conventional ground spray equip ment showed the most promising insecticides to be malathion, carbaryl, naled, and trichlorfon. Introduction Continued unchecked spread of the Carib bean fruit fly, Anastrepha suspensa (Loew) through more than 28 counties and attacking over 50 host plants in Florida have indicated the urgent necessity for establishment of practical control measures. A research program aimed at controlling this fruit fly for small growers and homeowners was initiated by entomologists of the University of Florida Institute of Food and Agricultural Sci ences early in This effort was an addition to other basic Institute studies and cooperative area control investigations with the Florida Department of Agriculture's Division of Plant Industry and the USDA Plant Pest Control Division. The purpose of these tests was to evaluate various insecticides, dosage rates, and possible intervals of application. Experimental Methods and Materials Tests were planned to include research with three preferred host plants, peaches, Surinamcherry, and guavas. Seven of the more readily available insecticides which might lend them selves to use by the small grower or dooryard fruit enthusiast were selected for evaluation. These proposed materials, rates, and applica tion procedures are summarized in Table..1. The large number of these potential treat ments made a complete evaluation of all treat ments at any one time and place on any one
