Abstract
A commercial scale hot water bath was tested for the disinfestation of New Zealand flower thrips, Thrips obscuratus (Crawford), on apricots.
Treatment in water at 50°C for 2 minutes removed >90% of adults and killed all adults, larvae and eggs.
It also reduced residues of iprodione and carbaryl on ‘Sundrop’ to 14 and 24% respectively of those in untreated fruit.
Apricots cv. ‘Sundrop’ and ‘Valleygold’ tolerated 50°C for 2 minutes without affecting their quality.
Drying the fruit before packing reduced the risk that hot water-treated fruit would develop post-storage rots.
Hot water treatment could replace existing preharvest field insecticide applications for thrips control on export fruit.
