CONTROLLED-ATMOSPHERE STORAGE 
CA Storage Research Around the World 
The principles upon which controlled-atmosphere (CA) storage (gas storage 
in England) is based were applied to the storage of apples in England by Kidd 
and West over 30 years ago. By 1939 there were over 4.5 million cubic feét of 
gas storage facilities in England according to Kidd and West (43). 1/ cA stor- 
age of apples in the United States got its start on a commercial basis with 
Mcintosh in the Hudson Valley in the early forties. In December of 1962 the 
International Apple Association (1) reported nearly 8.5 million bushels of 
apples in CA storages in the United States and 884,770 bushels in CA storage in 
Canada. 
Research on the CA storage of apples has been carried out in many coun- 
tries to determine the conditions that may extend the storage life or maintain 
the quality of the fruit better than normal air cold storage. 
England 
Kidd and West (43) in 1950 summarized the CA (gas storage) requirements 
of 15 English-grown apple varieties on which they had conducted investigations
