An experiment was conducted to assess effect of phyticcal impact and storage temperature on ethylene production. There was no significant effect of physical handling on ethylene production, but there was more ethylene production at higher (200 C) than lower (120 C) temperature. Production of ethylene was lowered by application of 1-methylcyclopropene.
