In 1985 one bushel of fruit from each tree was kept in controlled 

 atmosphere storage for 7 months followed by air storage for 2 months. In 1986 

 one bushel from each tree was kept in air storage for 4 months, and one bushel 

 was kept in controlled atmosphere storage for 6 months followed by air storage 

 for 1 1/2 months. The incidences of storage disorders were not significantly 

 different among strains in either year (Table 7). However, some differences 

 existed with respect to fruit firmness after storage in 1986, but these 

 differences may be attributed to fruit size.
