Abstract

Asparagus spears were damaged by post-harvest fumigation treatments using moderate or high doses of methyl bromide. Damage was expressed both as the earlier development of decay during shelf-life evaluation and as a reduction in eating quality of spears which showed no visible damage. Fumigation stimulated both respiration rate and ethylene production by asparagus spears.
