Agriculture Handbook Number 66

The Commercial Storage of Fruits, Vegetables, and Florist and Nursery Stocks

***Draft Copy for Public Review
           and Comment Only***

This draft has been assembled from information prepared by authors from around the world. It has been submitted for editing and production by the USDA Agricultural Research Service Information Staff and should be cited as an electronic draft of a forthcoming publication (see suggested citation below). Because the 1986 edition is out of print, because we have added much new and updated information, and because the time to publication for so massive a project is still many months away, we are making this draft widely available for comment from industry stakeholders, as well as university research, teaching and extension staff.

Your feedback is welcome. Address it to:
