“…Prices on the cherry market are associated with fruit colour attributes. The correlation between fruit colour and prices on Poznan-Franowo (Poland) wholesale market in 2007 and 2011 was significant [1]. This clearly demonstrates the importance of colour in evaluating fruit quality and in commerce.…”

“…However, it should be stressed that alternate bearing may be induced to a larger extent by climate conditions and agrotechnical treatments [50]. Reducing alternate bearing brings economic benefits [1]. Thinned trees give a lower but more regular yield, thus ensuring steady income every year.…”

The study’s objective was to evaluate the influence of thinning on the quality and regularity of yield of ‘Regina’ cherries grown on a dwarf Gisela 5 rootstock. The experiments were conducted in the years 2009–2012 in Western Poland. Trees were thinned using a chemical agent, ammonium thiosulphate (ATS), at doses of 20 g ATS L−1, 30 g ATS L−1 and 40 g ATS L−1, and by hand, and the results of chemical and hand thinning were compared with those obtained for unthinned trees. The course of weather conditions in winter and during flowering had a significant impact on yield. Chemical thinning is known to be an effective method to regulate fruiting of pome trees, but it can also be successful if applied to cherry trees, as reflected by the alternate bearing index, which was the lowest after applying ATS at a dose of 40 g. ATS treatment improved fruit quality in full crop years. Thinning resulted in, among other things, larger and darker fruit and higher content of total soluble solids and titratable acidity. Treatment with 40 g ATS L−1 significantly stimulated the vegetative growth of trees.

“…In addition to market dependencies, including mainly the supply of fruit over a given period, the most important factor affecting the price is fruit quality [54]. For a grower who prepares fruit for sale it is important that it meets the parameters allowing its classification as top-class fruit for fresh consumption [55]. Fruit discarded after grading generates either no or very low revenue.…”

Effect of Storage Conditions on Storability and Antioxidant Potential of Pears cv. ‘Conference’

Late pear cultivars, such as ‘Conference’, can be stored for a long period if kept in good storage conditions. A three-year study (2011–2013) compared the impact of six-month storage using four technologies—normal atmosphere, normal atmosphere + 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP), controlled atmosphere, and controlled atmosphere + 1-MCP—on the quality parameters of ‘Conference’ pears, such as mass loss, firmness, total soluble solids, acidity, antioxidant capacity, and the incidence of diseases and disorders. Additionally, the study analysed different storage conditions in terms of profitability, based on the market prices for pears in the seasons during which the pears were stored. The storage conditions had a very strong influence on the fruit quality parameters, and were found to affect most visibly the mass loss and the incidence of postharvest diseases and disorders. The storage of ‘Conference’ pears for 180 days in normal atmosphere is not economically viable, even if the fruit is subjected to 1-MCP treatment; at the same time, it is profitable to store ‘Conference’ pears in controlled atmosphere for the same period, no matter whether 1-MCP was applied or not.
