Postharvest quality and rots were evaluated on kiwifruit from orchards with Psa.
At harvest, fruit from Psa infected orchards had higher dry matter and lower calcium.
Firmness and acidity were lower and soluble solids were higher in infected fruit.
Fruit from Psa infected orchards were more susceptible to postharvest rots.
Controlled atmosphere and 1-MCP treatment increased the shelf life of kiwifruit.
