Effects of Canopy Position on Fruit Quality of Kiwifruit (cv. Hayward)
Journal Title: MAS Journal of Applied Sciences - Year 2023, Vol 8, Issue 4
Abstract
This study investigated the effect of fruit-bearing orientation of the Actinidia deliciosa ‘Hayward’ (kiwifruit) on fruit quality. Plant age and canopy position significantly affected the physico-chemical properties of kiwifruit. Fruit length, thickness and weight was increased on the branches in the south and east side of vine. Southern fruits were in the most exposed canopy orientation and had higher soluble solid content and more dry matter than those associated with other canopy orientations. We conclude that fruit-bearing orientation affects fruit quality via the canopy effect. It was suggested to collect the fruits separately according to their orientation. Result is valuable for improving the post-harvest quality and harvesting criteria of fruits.
