POSTSTORAGE EFFECT OF LIGHT, TEMPERATURE AND NUTRIENT SPRAY TREATMENTS ON CHLOROPHYLL DEVELOPMENT IN CABBAGE

After 4 mo of storage, two trimmed cabbage cultivars received temperature, light and nutrient spray treatments. Analyses showed that the combined effect of elevated temperature and illumination increased chlorophyll substantially while nutrient sprays produced a smaller effect. Although the cultivars differed in initial chlorophyll content, they responded similarly to the treatments.
