Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the innovative methods of harvesting and packing lettuce that have emerged in recent years, comparing these techniques to traditional methods. The author delves into the reasons behind the shift towards dry-packing fiberboard cartons in the field or packing sheds and vacuum-cooling them for shipment, instead of the conventional ice-packing of wooden crates in packing sheds. Through a survey of harvesting, packing, and shipping costs, the author reveals that substantial savings can be realized through these newer methods. The author also examines the transportation and refrigeration charges associated with each method, demonstrating that while dry-packing may increase refrigeration costs, significant net savings remain. Additionally, the book presents the results of shipping and storage tests conducted to compare the arrival condition of lettuce packed using different methods. These tests indicate that dry-packed, vacuum-cooled lettuce experiences less bruising and decay in transit compared to ice-packed lettuce in wooden crates. Overall, this book provides valuable insights into the economic and quality advantages of dry-packing fiberboard cartons in the field or packing sheds and vacuum-cooling them for shipment, offering practical information for lettuce growers and shippers. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
