Maturity testing of fruit while still on the tree is an important harvest management tool.
Using maturity testing can help:
- Identify the optimum picking window for fruit
- Support your harvest labour plan
- Inform your marketing and storage strategy, and
- Deliver a better eating experience for consumers.
