Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book investigates the use of pressure testing as a means of determining the ripeness of fruit. The author sets up a comprehensive range of methods for employing the Fruit Pressure Tester on apples, pears, peaches, plums and other fruits. The research revealed that analyzing the specified range of fruits for levels of firmness and turgidity on their skin and within their substance allows for accurate assessment of their maturity. The author delves into the relevant literature on the topic and presents an exhaustive table of applicable pressure-test limits for different varieties of apples, pears, plums and peaches. The book goes on to explore the range of other factors which have been observed to influence the firmness of fruit, such as nitrogen fertilization, soil moisture and rootstock. The author demonstrates how this area is less well understood, but offers a nuanced insight into the current state of knowledge. The research findings provide a foundation for storage and transportation recommendations for the fruit industry.
