First, before warehouse disinfection, it's recommended to use CT-efficient warehouse disinfectant for better results. The storage temperature should be lowered to 3-4°C prior to placing the fruits inside. This helps in maintaining the quality and extending the shelf life of the produce.
Second, select fully ripe fruits that are fully colored but not yet softened. Harvest them with their stems intact to reduce bruising and damage. Avoid harvesting during or just after rain, as this can make the fruits more susceptible to spoilage. If there has been 3-4 days of pre-harvest rain, irrigation in the orchard should be avoided. Applying a 0.5% calcium chloride spray before harvest can enhance the fruit’s resistance to storage.
Once harvested, the fruits can be placed directly into boxes lined with large cherry preservation bags right in the field. Each box should weigh between 4-5 kg. Alongside, place CT2 No.1 preservative at a rate of 1 bag per kilogram. Make sure the bags are opened properly. Before boxing, remove any diseased, rotten, or overripe fruits to prevent contamination. After packing, store the boxes in a 0°C cold room and open the bags to allow for pre-cooling.
Third, the pre-cooling process should last about 10 hours. Once the fruit temperature reaches 0°C, add 4 packets of black drug. Be careful not to let the drug packages come into direct contact with the fruits; wrap them in toilet paper first, then secure the bag. This prevents chemical burns and ensures safe storage.
IV. Storage Management: Throughout the storage period, maintain a consistent temperature of 0°C and keep the relative humidity between 90% and 95%. Regular monitoring is essential to ensure optimal conditions. Check the fruits periodically for signs of spoilage or moisture issues. Proper ventilation and cleanliness in the storage area also play a key role in preserving fruit quality. By following these steps, you can significantly improve the longevity and marketability of your stored fruits.
