“…Unfortunately, irradiation facilities in South Africa are few, not speciÞcally equipped to handle fresh fruit, and some countries may not accept irradiated fresh fruit (Follett and Neven 2006). Nevertheless, it has deÞnite potential for use on mangoes known to be relatively tolerant to irradiation (Upadhya and Brewbaker 1966, Kok 1977, Milne et al 1977, Joubert and Grové 1999, although some cultivars may show lenticel damage under certain conditions (Grové et al 2003(Grové et al , 2004. Currently, studies are underway to establish a commercially viable system for irradiating mango by using the existing irradiation facilities in South Africa until such time when it is feasible to construct dedicated fruit irradiation plants.…”

“…A systems approach was recently accepted for Australian mango export to China (Queensland Government 2009). Irradiation causes sterility or mortality, and it prevents S. mangiferae from achieving sexual maturity (Upadhya and Brewbaker 1966, Seo et al 1974, Thomas 1975, Kok 1977, Milne et al 1977, De Villiers 1983, Follett 2001). An irradiation quarantine treatment of 300 Gy has been approved by the U.S. authorities to sterilize S. mangiferae (Anonymous 2002, USDA 2006b).…”
