Effects of preharvest chitosan application on fruit weight loss in ‘Garmrok’ kiwifruit during cold storage. Experimental data represent means ± standard error with n = 10. * in each column indicate significant differences between treatments at each sampling date, according to the least significant difference (LSD) test at p ≤ 0.05.
