Table 4.
Percentages of postharvest rots (mean ± SE) on nectarines after storage and after shelf life. Fruits were harvested in 2016 and in 2017 (no. = 900 fruits per treatment per year) (N = netted plots, C = un-netted control plots, I = un-netted plots treated with insecticides). For each cultivar and year, means followed by different letters are significantly different (Tukey’s Test, p < 0.05).
