Determination of the Optimum Harvest Window for Apples Using the Non-Destructive Biospeckle Method [PDF]
Sensors, 2016 Determination of the optimum harvest window plays a key role in the agro-food chain as the quality of fruit depends on the right harvesting time and appropriate storage conditions during the postharvest period.

Apple Fruit Growth and Quality Depend on the Position in Tree Canopy [PDF]
Plants, 2022 Modern apple orchard systems should guarantee homogeneity of fruit internal and external qualities and fruit maturity parameters. However, when orchards reach productive age, a variation of these parameters takes place and mostly it is related to uneven ...

Evaluating the Streif index against commercial subjective predictions to determine the harvest date of apples in South Africa [PDF]
South African Journal of Plant and Soil, 2012 For the local deciduous fruit industry, which mainly exports fruit, determination of the optimum physiological harvest maturity for apples to ensure high fruit quality after long-term storage is still an important goal. This is performed by a subjective determination based on a weekly rate of change of all or some of the ripening parameters such as ...

Evaluation of Streif’s Index Values During Maturation of Two Apple Cultivars
Farm Machinery and Processes Management in Sustainable Agriculture, IX International Scientific Symposium, 2017 The paper presents the results of Streif’s Index (SI) expression by new method of harvest date optimization, based on calculation one of its components - starch index (S), by image analysis. Harvest date prediction is a crucial factor in apple storage and subsequent shelf life, making it the main factor of product optimization.

Using the Streif Index as a Final Harvest Window for Controlled-atmosphere Storage of Apples [PDF]
HortScience, 1999 A final harvest window (FHW), expressed as Streif Index coefficients [firmness/(percentage soluble solids concentration × starch index)], was developed for identifying maximum fruit quality for strains of `McIntosh', `Cortland', and `Jonagold' apples ( Malus × domestica

THE DETERMINATION OF HARVEST INDEX OF ’ŠAMPION’ APPLES INTENDED FOR LONG STORAGE
Acta Scientiarum Polonorum: Hortorum Cultus, 2011 The harvest date is crucial for the storability of ’Šampion’ apples intended for long storage. Only apples picked at the optimum maturity stage are suitable for storage over 3 months because of better storage potential and organoleptic quality.
