Fall
Plant Biology 172
Postharvest Physiology and Handling of Horticultural Commodities.
Physiological processes related to the maturation and senescence of
fruits, ornamentals, and vegetables; fundamentals involved in handling,
transportation, storage and marketing practices, e.g., temperature and
humidity control, protective treatments, controlled and modified atmospheres.
Plant Biology 172L
Postharvest Physiology and Handling Laboratory .
Demonstrations, exercises, and group experiments introduce students
to current postharvest concepts, techniques and technologies.
