- Method / resource The NIR grading platform predicted fruit TSS of peach, nectarine and plum with a root mean squared error below 0.8%.
- Method / resource The NIR grading platform predicted fruit fresh weight with a root mean squared error of 0.5 g.
- Intervention effect Thinning to one fruit per cm2 trunk area raised peach fruit TSS by approximately 2%.
- Intervention effect Thinning to one fruit per cm2 trunk area raised nectarine fruit TSS by approximately 2%.
- Intervention effect Thinning to one fruit per cm2 trunk area raised plum fruit TSS by 0.5%.
- Intervention effect Thinning to one fruit per cm2 trunk area increased nectarine fruit fresh weight by an average of 30 g.
- Intervention effect Thinning to one fruit per cm2 trunk area increased peach fruit fresh weight by an average of 40 g.
- Association Fruit from the upper canopy of peach trees had about 3% higher TSS than lower-canopy fruit.
- Association Fruit from the upper canopy of nectarine trees had about 2% higher TSS than lower-canopy fruit.
- Association Fruit from the upper canopy of plum trees had about 1.5% higher TSS than lower-canopy fruit.
