| Abstract | ||
| This study was carried in the cold storage unit, Hort. Dept. and the laboratories of Plant. Prot. Dept. , College of Agriculture , University of Baghdad during the seasons 2005-2006 , to evaluate new packages to prolong the storage period at 4 °c . Results showed that the paper bags were among the best treatment to reduce total infection severity by fungi and to prolong the storage period up to 13 days. Less infection severity was reduced for Alternaria sp. . The treatment of cotton bags had the lowest infection severity of Aspergillus sp. Penicillium sp. did not appear in pods kept in stiroform boxes, while the genus Sclerotinia sp. did not appear in pods kept in both paper bags and cottony bags. The lowest weight loss percentage of 5.2% was in pods kept in cottony bags after 9 days from storage date. No physiologycal disorders were found in the treatment of cardboard boxes. Keeping pods on paper bags gave highest pod firmness value, on peeling off was found in the fruits as this treatment was characterized by maintaining the highest value of chlorophyll pigments (a , b and total) after 13 days from storage date. | ||
