Abstract: The effect of high levels of CO 2 at 20 or 40°C for 10 or 16 h on botrytis storage rot in beans ( Phaseolus vulgaris L.) was assessed. Beans were inoculated with Botrytis cinerea spores, exposed to the treatments, and stored in air for 5 days after the treatments to allow for disease expression and to assess quality. Air at 40°C for 16 h gave complete control of botrytis storage rot. High levels of CO 2 (60%) were not effective and adversely affected respiration rate, firmness, and colour of the beans.
