Summary

Two-years trials show evident efficacy (usually more than 80%, on most of varieties, and for a 50°C treatment during 2 minutes) of hot water treatments against post-harvest diseases (Monilinia sp. mainly). Growers do hesitate to invest since engines remain expensive, but calculation of the treatment cost shows that the investment is covered after 2 or 3 years, for a medium damage rate.
