- Intervention effect Girdling raised kiwifruit dry matter by 1.7%.
- Intervention effect Girdling raised kiwifruit weight by 6.4%.
- Intervention effect Girdling increased kiwifruit dimensions.
- Intervention effect Girdling did not alter kiwifruit shape.
- Intervention effect Fruit from girdled canes had nearly 13% higher soluble solids after storage.
- Intervention effect Fruit from girdled canes had a higher TSS-to-TA ratio after storage.
- Intervention effect Girdling did not significantly change chlorophyll or carotenoids, organic acids or most sugars at harvest or post-storage.
- Intervention effect Total flavonoids were lowest with August girdling at harvest.
