Postharvest Physiology of Perishable Plant Products
There are two primary reasons for offering a broad overview of postharvest physiology. First, many critical functions that are operative during plant growth shift after harvest when the input of energy, water, and other essential requisites ceases in most products. Consequently, postharvest physiology differs substantially from what is covered in a typical plant physiology text. Second, the value of the majority of live agricultural plant products approxi mately doubles between harvest and retail sales. The total cost of losses occurring late in the production-harvest-marketing sequence are substan tially greater than those incurred during the production phase. Likewise, inputs essential to ...
