1. Quarantine- is a legally enforceable restriction for the
importation of produce in order that the introduction or spread of a pest may be prevented or limited or in order that an already introduced pest may be controlled or eradicated.
Quarantine Pest- is a potential pest of crops of economic
importance to the endangered area and which may not yet be present there, or present but not widely distributed and being officially controlled.
![Page 10: Postharvest Insect Pest and Disease Control](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042502/544e9ef4b1af9f27638b4fbd/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
2. Declaring areas free from insects and diseases
- these are areas in which a specific pest does not occur as demonstrated by scientific evidence and in which, where appropriate, this condition is being officially maintained.
e.g. „Carabao‟ mango grown in GuimarasIsland.
![Page 11: Postharvest Insect Pest and Disease Control](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042502/544e9ef4b1af9f27638b4fbd/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
3. Preventing diseases or insect pests spreading to a country.
e.g. The island of Palawan was placed under special quarantine in 1987 (Administrative Order No. 20), banning the exit of fruits from the island.
![Page 12: Postharvest Insect Pest and Disease Control](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042502/544e9ef4b1af9f27638b4fbd/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
4. Regulation on treatment of imported fruits to prevent pests from spreading.
e.g. Mango fruits – Vapor heat treatment (Aus, NZ, USA and Korea)
„Solo‟ Papaya – VHT (Japan)
„Cavendish‟ – treated with fenthion and are require to be shipped at the green mature stage (NZ).
![Page 13: Postharvest Insect Pest and Disease Control](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042502/544e9ef4b1af9f27638b4fbd/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
5. Residues of pesticides in food
- a Maximum Residue Level (MRL) established by Codex AlementariusCommission.
- MRL is the highest concentration of a particular chemical that is legally permitted or accepted on food.
![Page 14: Postharvest Insect Pest and Disease Control](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042502/544e9ef4b1af9f27638b4fbd/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
6. Certification
- based on the International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC) certification system.
e.g. A quarantine inspector must certify the Mango fruits from Guimaras for export to Aus and USA; and Mango and Papaya for export for Japan.
![Page 15: Postharvest Insect Pest and Disease Control](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042502/544e9ef4b1af9f27638b4fbd/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Quarantine Treatment - is any treatment that kills or otherwise render incapable of establishment quarantine pests at a predetermined level of control (Hallman 2001).
Disinfestation of Phytosanitary Treatment –any treatment that kills, removes or otherwise inactivate pests whether they are of quarantine importance or not, in a commodity, to any level of control.
![Page 16: Postharvest Insect Pest and Disease Control](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042502/544e9ef4b1af9f27638b4fbd/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Quarantine Security – degree of statistical probability needed by a quarantine treatment to disinfest host produce so that upon transport or shipment of the treated pest cannot be established in any area where they do not exist yet (Paul and Armstrong 1994).
Probit Analysis – statistical treatment of quantitative assay data that provides the basis for quarantine security.
![Page 17: Postharvest Insect Pest and Disease Control](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042502/544e9ef4b1af9f27638b4fbd/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Presence of more than one life stage on or in the host commodity.
Location of the insect‟s life stages in the host.
Different Life Stages of an Insects:
1. Egg
2. Larva
3. Pupa
4. Adult
![Page 18: Postharvest Insect Pest and Disease Control](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042502/544e9ef4b1af9f27638b4fbd/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Must kill all stages of the insect present in the commodity.
Rule of thumb:
“No live insects 24 h after treatment”
There should be no detrimental effects on fruit quality.
![Page 19: Postharvest Insect Pest and Disease Control](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042502/544e9ef4b1af9f27638b4fbd/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Must be commercially feasible.
There should be no harmful effects on humans.
e.g. Ethylene dibromide (EDB) to VHT
The treatment should not pose any environmental hazard.
e.g. Methyl bromide scheduled for phase out in 2015 in developing countries.
![Page 20: Postharvest Insect Pest and Disease Control](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042502/544e9ef4b1af9f27638b4fbd/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Fumigation
- use of fumigant, a chemical that at required temperature and pressure can exist in gas form in sufficient concentration to kill an insect or organism.
Insecticide Dust or Spray
e.g. Fenthione
![Page 21: Postharvest Insect Pest and Disease Control](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042502/544e9ef4b1af9f27638b4fbd/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Heat Treatment – is a physical method of controlling insect pests and is therefore more acceptable to consumers.
- can be applied in various ways:
1. Vapor heat treatment
2. Heated dry air or high-temp. forced air or hot forced air.
3. Hot water immersion or extended hot water dip.

Hot Water Treatment
![Page 25: Postharvest Insect Pest and Disease Control](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042502/544e9ef4b1af9f27638b4fbd/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Radio Frequency and Microwave Energy Treatment.
Irradiation
Objective: To prevent introduction and spread of regulated pests by:
1. Mortality
2. Aborted development
3. Inability to reproduce
4. Inactivation
![Page 26: Postharvest Insect Pest and Disease Control](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042502/544e9ef4b1af9f27638b4fbd/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Low-Temperature Treatment
- involves exposure of fruit to very low temperature for a specified period and is ideal as in-transit treatment.
Controlled Atmosphere
- modified atmospheric gases can be lethal to quarantined pests yet beneficial for preserving postharvest quality.
- ↑ CO₂ ↓O₂ reduce ATP production in insects.
![Page 27: Postharvest Insect Pest and Disease Control](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042502/544e9ef4b1af9f27638b4fbd/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Use of a screened packinghouse where packing is done.
Vent holes of cartons used for export are covered with nets to prevent reinfestation.
Sanitation of packinghouses and storage rooms will likewise prevent reinfestation.
![Page 28: Postharvest Insect Pest and Disease Control](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042502/544e9ef4b1af9f27638b4fbd/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Limit the potential storage life and sale of fruits and vegetables to distant markets.
The largest single cause of postharvest loss.
Diseases could either be non-infectious or infectious.
![Page 29: Postharvest Insect Pest and Disease Control](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042502/544e9ef4b1af9f27638b4fbd/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Strictly Preharvest Disease – fruits and vegetables are infected at the early stages of growth and symptoms are already present at harvest.
Postharvest Diseases due to Latent Infection –the infected during growth with no symptoms at harvest.
Strictly Postharvest Diseases –microorganisms infect the commodity during or after harvest.
![Page 30: Postharvest Insect Pest and Disease Control](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042502/544e9ef4b1af9f27638b4fbd/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Direct contact
e.g. Durian that falls on the ground susceptible to disease due to soil-borne inoculum of Phytophthora palmivora.
Indirect contact
- spores or bacterial cells are transferred by an intermediate agents.
![Page 31: Postharvest Insect Pest and Disease Control](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042502/544e9ef4b1af9f27638b4fbd/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Entry through natural openings or wounds and mechanical injuries.
e.g. Pectobacterium carotovorum can enter only through wounds or natural openings.
Direct penetration
e.g. Colletotrichum gloeosporioides
![Page 32: Postharvest Insect Pest and Disease Control](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042502/544e9ef4b1af9f27638b4fbd/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)

High temperature – this favors disease development that can be due to either enhancement of ripening process or enhanced growth of the pathogen.
High relative humidity – most fungi and bacteria require moist conditions for growth and disease spread.

Method of Application
1. Incorporated in waxes
2. Fine sprays
3. Dips
Concentration of antagonist – a successful biocontrol program requires that the antagonist be applied at low concentration.
