Normal atmosphere (C), no treatment; 2. Fitomag, 0.44 g/m3; 3. Grand Fresh, 60 g/m3; 4. Grand Fresh, 68 g/m3. The fruits of the control and treated variants were placed in room with a normal atmosphere (CO2 - 0.03%; O2 - 21%). Storage temperature 0...+10С and relative humidity 92-95%. The storage period was 150 days. Treating fruit with products whose active substance is 1-MCP before storage increases pulp firmness, DA-Meter index values, standard fruit yield, decreases ethylene emission, natural loss, fungal disease, and extends the "shelf life" of apples compared to the control variant.English1-MCPethylenefirmnessripeningDA-MeterArticle2069-8275
