“…In pineapple, there was a linear response in pulp SS for increment in P doses (Martins and Ventura 2011). The influence of P on SS is likely related to a better photosynthetic rate, and photo assimilate partitioning and transport, as Cao et al (2015) acknowledge. The SS values obtained with combined application of P (in foundation and fertigation) were higher than the SS reported by Lima Neto et al (2010), in different varieties of watermelon cultivated in similar soil and climate conditions, and similar results to Barros et al (2012) in 'Crimson Sweet' watermelon (9.69 to 12.23%) cultivated with different nitrogen doses.…”

“…In watermelon plants, the effects of P deficiency in reducing photosynthetic rate, stomatal conductance, and intercellular carbon concentration (Meng et al, 2014) may influence in fruit's final quality. In strawberry, P level positively correlates with in-fruit concentration of soluble solids (Cao et al, 2015). Under adequate P level, in-plant ATP levels are satisfying for sugar exportation in phloem (Rao, 1990) to fruit or leaf, de Araújo et al 5137 and, thus, contribute to increase soluble solids in fruits.…”

“…However, fruits chemical composition may be affected by a series of factors, including its genetics, environment conditions and cultural practices (Cao et al, 2015). Within the cultural practices, the mineral nutrition has a major rule in watermelon's crop performance and quality (Barros et al, 2012;Silva et al, 2014).…”

Effects of doses and phosphorus application forms were studied on the postharvest quality in seedless watermelon hybrid 'Style'. For this, an experiment was conducted in Upanema/RN, Brazil, during the period of September to December 2013, in a randomized block at factorial scheme 5×2 constituting of five phosphorus doses applied in foundation (0, 76, 168, 275 and 397 kg ha -1 of P 2 O 5 ) and foundation + fertigation (0+50, 26+50, 118+50, 225+50, 347+50 kg ha -1 of P 2 O 5 ) with four replications. Fruit harvested at commercial maturity (78 days after sowing) were evaluated by average fruit weight (AFW), pulp firmness (PF), chroma index, hue angle, soluble solids content (SS), titratable acidity (TA), maturation index (MI), total phenols content (TP), vitamin C (VC), total sugars content (TS), reducing sugars content (RS) and pH. Among the quality parameters evaluated phosphorus application forms did not affect physical characteristics of fruit, but combination of application via foundation + fertigation increased VC, TS and MI. There was interactive effect of dose and phosphorus application form for the SS, TA, pH and TP. The dose of 50 kg P 2 O 5 ha -1 applied only in fertigation significantly increased values of SS, TA and TP. It is concluded that low doses of P in cultivation and its application via foundation and fertigation improved the main quality characteristics of 'Style' watermelon.

“…A great part of gherkin production is limited due to the lack of specific farming practices for this crop, as its production is derivative from weed species which grow in areas cultivated with other crops, such as beans and corn (Oliveira et al, 2006). However, quality characteristics of fruits are strongly influenced by genotype, environmental conditions, and in-field crop management (Yativ et al, 2010;Cao et al, 2015), and also for its handling in post-harvest (M. I. F. Chitarra & A. B. Chitarra, 2005).…”

Gherkin presents short shelf life. Its quality is influenced by cultivation's conditions which has scarce information in the literature. The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of salinity on quality and post-harvest conservation of gherkin. For this, an experiment was carried out in a randomized block design, with treatments arranged in a 2 × 4 factorial scheme (two cultivars, 'Do Norte' and 'Liso Gibão' and four salinity levels; 2.0, 3.5 and 5.0 dSm -1 ), with three replicates, with the experimental unit being represented by six plastic vessels with capacity of 10 liters, each one with one plant. Harvest was carried out 60 days after planting of seedlings and the following analyzes were proceeded: length, fruit diameter; soluble solids content (SS); titratable acidity (TA); SS/TA ratio; total sugar content; chlorophyll and total phenolic content. The highest yield ('Liso Gibão') allowed the storage of fruits, stored in trays covered with PVC, at 15±2 °C and 85±2% RH for 0, 3, and 6 days. Increase in saline solution reduced fruit length and diameter and increased pH, soluble solids and SS/TA ratio. The cultivar 'Liso Gibão' was superior to 'Do Norte' cultivar for the variables length, diameter, pH, total sugars and SS/TA ratio. The fruits of the 'Liso Gibão' mixer can be stored for six days without loss of quality. Fruits cultivated with saline solution of 2.0 dS m -1 presented higher acidity and chlorophyll content during storage, but reduced total sugars and pH in fruits of gherkin.

“…In Vrbovec, Croatia, the Albion cultivar showed higher TSS content in relation to the Monterey, Capri and Murano cultivars in hydroponic crop (Samec et al, 2016). Cao et al (2015) reported that genetic factors and environmental conditions influence the flavor and fruit quality (as measured by soluble solids and titratable acidity). The soluble sugars are products derived directly from the photosynthesis and the differences in sugar content reflects indirectly higher photosynthetic efficiency (Yu et al, 2015), and may list phyllochron plant with TSS, the lower the phyllochron the greater the number of leaves, reflected in higher photosynthetic and productive efficiency.…”

The strawberry cultivars show variation in agronomic performance when grown in different regions of the world, due to the genotype × environment interaction. The aim of the study was to evaluate the yield performance and quality of Italian and American strawberry cultivars. We evaluated the phyllochron, which measures the time required for the emission of successive leaves in a plant, the number and commercial and non-commercial fruit yield, titratable acidity and total soluble solids (obtained from evaluations of the Brix degree of the fruit). The experimental design was a randomized complete block with 11 treatments, which were composed of the Italian strawberry cultivars (CREA-FRF PIR 29, CREA-FRF PA3, CREA-FRF CE 51, CREA-FRF CE 56, CREA-FRF Jônica and CREA-FRF Pircinque) and American (Albion, Camarosa, San Andreas, Camino Real and Aromas), with four replications per treatment, eight plants per plot, giving a total 32 plants per cultivar. Analysis of variance showed differences for phyllochron, marketable fruits yield and total soluble solids content. The American cultivar Albion showed higher phyllochron, the cultivar CREA-FRF Pircinque the lowest phyllochron. The highest yields of marketable fruits were found in American cultivars Camino Real and CREA-FRF Pircinque. The higher solids soluble was observed in Italian cultivars. Thus, we highlight the Italian strawberry cultivars, because they reflect good yield when compared to the American cultivars.
