Abstract: Excerpt from the report: This study was made at Michigan State University to evaluate several pallet box designs for use in handling tomatoes from the field to the packing or processing plant. Laboratory tests were made of the effects of box construction materials on tomato bruising. Pallet boxes were designed, and field tests were made of bruising of tomatoes handled in pallet boxes of different design and construction. Separate tests were made with processing (ripe) tomatoes and fresh-market (mature-green) tomatoes.
