Other claims from this paper (19)
- Observation Controlled-atmosphere regime primarily determined stored apple quality.
- Observation Scald was nil in Jonagold under high CO2 and low O2.
- Observation Scald was slight in Red Pippin and Gala under high CO2 and low O2.
- Observation Scald was extensive under low CO2 and low O2 with orchard variability.
- Observation Gala developed slight breakdown after six months under either CA regime.
- Intervention effect Firmness was maintained better under high CO2 and low O2.
- Intervention effect Sugar and acid concentrations were generally unaffected by CA conditions.
- Observation Fruit mineral composition varied greatly among orchards for each cultivar.
- Observation Gala apples had lower N than Red Pippin or Jonagold.
- Observation Gala apples had higher Ca and Mn than Red Pippin or Jonagold.
- Observation Red Pippin apples were highest in B.
- Observation Jonagold apples were lowest in K and Mg.
- Observation Leaf and fruit mineral composition differed by cultivar.
- Observation Gala firmness and soluble-solids variability was about threefold less than starch-coverage variability.
- Association Fruit acidity correlated positively with harvest fruit K across cultivars.
- Association Sugar concentration correlated with fruit dry weight and soluble solids at harvest.
- Association Gala ex-store firmness correlated highly with harvest firmness.
- Association Gala ex-store firmness correlated positively with harvest Ca and B and negatively with K.
- Association Jonagold scald incidence correlated negatively with harvest fruit Ca.
