Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect Extended harvest time increased soluble solid contents and hunter a value of Fuji apple fruit.
- Intervention effect Fruit weight at harvest was not affected by harvest time.
- Intervention effect Harvest time did not change ethylene production, firmness or titratable acidity during 20 weeks of cold storage.
- Intervention effect Soluble solid contents of fruit harvested at 216 days after full bloom in 2009 were similar at harvest and after cold storage.
- Intervention effect Soluble solid content of fruit harvested at 201 days after full bloom was higher during cold storage than at harvest.
- Intervention effect Fruit harvested after freezing damage had lower firmness, soluble solid content and titratable acidity after cold storage than fruit harvested before freezing damage.
- Observation Poor fruit colour was the problem for Fuji apple in Daegu region under the high air temperature of the maturation period.
- Recommendation Extending harvest of Fuji apples by about 2-4 weeks from 180-200 days after full bloom is beneficial for soluble solid contents and red colour in areas with high fall temperature.
- Recommendation Harvesting Fuji apples after the middle of November is dangerous because minimum air temperature begins to fall below the freezing threshold.
