1 Quarantine and Phytosanitary s Beth Mitcham Department of Plant Sciences University of California USA Quarantine and Pre-Shipment s Required to prevent spread of economically important insects and diseases Should be scientifically based Not designed to achieve zero risk Generally cause some reduction in product quality from treatment Quarantine and Pre-Shipment s Pests may be internal or external Economic pests on the host or hitchhikiking Can be multiple pests and multiple life stages of each pest to be controlled Methyl Bromide Fumigation Primary fumigant used General biocide Has been inexpensive and easy to use Cost has increased greatly Worker safety issues Phasing out for all uses exempt quarantine Alternatives are under development Current & Potential Methods for Postharvest Insect Control Methyl bromide fumigation Other fumigants Surfactants Heat treatment hot water hot air radio frequency Cold treatment Irradiation Silcone-based Surfactants to Control Surface Pests on Cherries
2 Issues for California Cherries Variety of insects and mites found on surface of sweet cherries Generally not significant for production Create issues for trade Methyl bromide fumigation for Australian market 5% of fumigated shipments retreated due to finds of live mites Costly Negative effect on fruit quality Potential Surface Arthropods on Fruit Tydeid mites Two-spotted spider mite Western flower thrips Grape mealybug Oblique-banded leaf roller LBAM (potential new pest in Calif.) Scale insects Issues Effort to prove non-host status of sweet cherry for codling moth in Japan Without methyl bromide fumigation, surface pests could become a greater problem for trade Great interest in a reliable method to remove or kill surface pests on sweet cherries Tydeid Mite Two-spotted Spider Mite Western Flower Thrips

Swaying slightly. Snoozing soundly. Snoring slightly. Sleeping fruit. Fruit on the Tree Nectarine Temperatures on the tree While fruit are on the tree, they experience fluctuating temperatures. In response to these fluctuating temperatures, the fruit produce a number of stress response proteins. The fruit will produce these proteins even if the daily temperatures are not in the stress range every day. :: AM Temperature F :: AM :: AM Time :: AM :: AM C C C C Cherries on the Tree in Tasmania Fruit after Harvest Degrees C After harvest, the fruit will continue to make the stress response proteins for a number of days. These proteins will help the fruit tolerate heat treatments. -Dec -Dec -Dec 5-Dec 6-Dec 7-Dec 8-Dec 9-Dec -Dec -Dec -Jan Cherry core temperatures in Tasmania, Australia where daily high air temperatures are below C.
15 Development of the System Heat treatments have been used for disinfesting fresh commodities for thousands of years. Adding a controlled atmosphere to a heat treatment was first investigated in the late 9 s. However, the advent of chemical fumigants stifled any further research in this area. What CATTS Does First, the oxygen level is reduced to a level which will not support active metabolism in the insects. High carbon dioxide levels prevents the insect from down regulating metabolism and respiration. The addition of high temperature causes a metabolic stress in the insect, and large scale systems break down occurs. The addition of CA causes mortality about X as fast as heat alone.
