“…Quality parameters changed without any increase in internal ethylene concentration, indicating that ethylene was not the only factor involved in the changes associated with maturity and that some changes occurred before the climacteric increase in ethylene. Ethylene production could not therefore be used as the only harvest criterion 3…”

“…This method to determine optimum harvest date is not able to follow changes in the maturity of apples in orchards. Internal ethylene concentrations are, for example, poorly related to starch degradation2 and changes in firmness and SSC in orchards 3. For all these reasons, other indicators are needed and we therefore propose a study to determine the activities of antioxidant enzymes 4…”

BACKGROUND: Harvest date clearly determines the postharvest storage behaviour and sensitivity of fruit to physiological disorders. Generally fruit are picked following their maturity indexes but often these indexes poorly represent the physiological state of the fruit. With this in mind, this work aimed to determine a biochemical marker capable of predicting on-tree maturation in 'Golden Smoothee' apples. Changes in the non-enzymatic and in enzymatic antioxidant potential of fruit were assessed for different harvest dates.

Quality and storability of ‘Pacific Rose™’ apple grown under partial rootzone drying (PRD) were studied over 2 years. The treatments were commercial irrigation (CI) and PRD, which were applied by watering one side of the tree row throughout the season (Expt. 1) or by alternating irrigation between two sides of the tree row when volumetric soil water content ranged between 0.18 and 0.22 m3·m−3 (Expt. 2). The PRD and CI fruit had similar quality attributes at harvest and after storage except that the former had lower weight loss during storage in Exp. 1 and a lower firmness after storage in Exp. 2. Compared with CI, PRD saved water by 0.15 mega liters per hectare in Exp. 1 and by 0.14 mega liters per hectare in Exp. 2. We recommend PRD for humid environments similar to ours.
