Abstract

Abstract Retail and consumer level losses of western sweet cherries (Prunus avium L.) studied in metropolitan New York during 1977–80 were 9.9 and 12.0%, respectively. More loss was observed in store-prepackaged consumer samples than in consumer samples obtained from bulk displays. Half of the loss at each level resulted from parasitic diseases and a third from physiological disorders. The remaining loss was caused by mechanical injuries.
