Abstract: The most favorable atmospheres for storage of nectarines ( Prunus persica (L.) Batsch cv. Stark’s Red Gold) at −0.5°C contained about 5% CO 2 which was about equally effective when combined with air or with 2.5% O 2 . Dessert quality of the fruit was good after 6 weeks in controlled atmosphere storage with either 5 or 2.5% CO 2 , but maximum storage possible may vary from year to year. Breakdown and decay was excessive in all lots after 10 to 11 weeks’ storage.
