Abstract
A special feature of apple fruits is that they can be kept for a longer period of time. However, during storage, the fruits are affected by certain diseases, which can cause considerable losses. As a result of research, it has been established that the technology used is one of the main factors in the storage period, able to regulate the intensity of ripening senescence processes in apple fruits, and as a result their degree of resistance to fungal diseases and physiological disorders. Fitomag has had a significant influence not only on the fruit ripening process, but also on the quality and resistance to fungal diseases and physiological disorders. The investigated fruits had an attractive appearance, high firmness, juiciness and a more pleasant taste, compared to the control fruits. The storage technology by post-harvest application of Fitomag can compete with that of storage under controlled atmosphere (AC) conditions, the advantages of the researched preparation being: simplicity in application, low electricity consumption during storage and minimal equipment investments.
