The ultra-fast SO2-generating pad (FieldSO2) releases the SO2 quickly for up to 6 h, and it was designed to be used soon after the harvest and until the grapes\u2019 packaging. The goal was to study the effect of FieldSO2 associated with SlowSO2 and DualSO2 pads on gray mold incidence and physicochemical and appearance characteristics of \u2018Italia\u2019 table grapes. Grapes were harvested from a commercial vineyard in Parana, Brazil, in 2020 and 2021, and packaged in cardboard boxes, and the treatments were as follows: control (without SO2-generating pads); FieldSO2 + SlowSO2; and FieldSO2 + DualSO2. After 30, 45, 60, 75, and 90 days of cold storage (1 \u00b1 1 \u00b0C), the grapes were assessed for gray mold incidence, mass loss, shattered berries, stem browning, and filamentous fungi on the surface. The use of FieldSO2 associated with SO2-generating pads is effective in controlling gray mold on \u2018Italia\u2019 table grapes, especially the treatment FieldSO2 + DualSO2, which provides the lowest incidence of the disease up to 90 days of cold storage, while the combination with SlowSO2 results in intermediate efficacy. Treatments combining these SO2-generating pads extend the postharvest shelf life of \u2018Italia\u2019 grapes, with few shattered berries, low mass loss and freshness of the rachis without impairing the bunch\u2019s appearance.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/plants13192827","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,9]],"date-time":"2024-10-09T06:30:03Z","timestamp":1728455403000},"page":"2827","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Association of SO2-Generating Pads before Packaging and during Cold Storage to Extend the Conservation of \u2018Italia\u2019 Table Grapes"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Ma\u00edra T.","family":"Higuchi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Agricultural Research Center, Agronomy Department, State University of Londrina, Celso Garcia Cid Road, km 380, Londrina 86057-970, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Aline C. de","family":"Aguiar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Agricultural Research Center, Agronomy Department, State University of Londrina, Celso Garcia Cid Road, km 380, Londrina 86057-970, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3646-8815","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nathalia R.","family":"Leles","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Agricultural Research Center, Agronomy Department, State University of Londrina, Celso Garcia Cid Road, km 380, Londrina 86057-970, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4770-5174","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Viviani V.","family":"Marques","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Agricultural Research Center, Agronomy Department, State University of Londrina, Celso Garcia Cid Road, km 380, Londrina 86057-970, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9700-9375","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Leandro S.
