Table 3B.
Fruit yield and quality parameters at fruit harvest and post-harvest in 2018–2019 season under the impact of different N fertigation timings. Within each parameter, different letters indicate significant differences (p < 0.05) between treatment means (n = 4).
| Treatment | Yield (kg tree−1) | Weight (g) | Dry matter content (%) | L index | a index | Delta absorbance | Red intensity | Red coverage |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Control | 6.84 | 156.71 | 15.18 | 45.74 | 33.06 | 0.45 | 5.50 | 3.83 |
| Pre-harvest | 8.1 | 176.48 | 14.64 | 43.32 | 35.89 | 0.45 | 5.96 | 4.31 |
| Post-harvest | 9.56 | 173.79 | 14.94 | 44.98 | 34.43 | 0.45 | 5.32 | 3.79 |
| Background color | Length (mm) | Diameter (mm) | Firmness (kg) | Starch index | TSS (Brix°) | Post-harvest firmness (kg) | Post-harvest TSS (Brix°) | |
| Control | 6.67 | 71.69 | 66.55 | 9.14 | 4.87 | 14.17 | 6.45 | 14.05 |
| Pre-harvest | 6.74 | 75.17 | 68.98 | 8.82 | 4.68 | 13.58 | 6.49 | 14.33 |
| Post-harvest | 6.95 | 73.54 | 69.06 | 8.91 | 4.98 | 14.08 | 6.64 | 14.20 |
°Represents degree of and angle, the parameter was measured in “Brix degree angle”.
