Journal Title: International Journal of Farming and Allied Sciences - Year 2013, Vol 2, Issue 11
Abstract
Harvest time can affect the quality characteristics of kiwi fruit. To get the best harvest time, this experiment in randomized complete block design, with three replications and five treatments were performed in the West Gilan. The treatment involved flushing interval of 7 days with 3 replications in each tree. Based on the results, further quantitative fruit traits were affected by time, and different times of sampling significantly affected fruit length, fruit width, fruit shape and fruit size in 1% level and fruit weight at the 5% level. Based on the results, further qualitative effects were also affected by time, and different times of sampling significantly affected fruit firmness total soluble solids (TSS), titratable acidity, soluble solids ratio (TSS / TA) and total antioxidant capacity (TAC) at the 1% level and titratable acidity (TA) at the 5% level. Fruit ascorbic acid (vitamin C) was not affected by the sampling time.
