Harvest, Post-harvest Handling.

Harvest Method:
Sweet and sour 16may20_xxxxxl56endian intended for processing are shaken from trees when ripe. Ethephon at 400-800 ppm is applied about 2 weeks prior to harvest to reduce fruit removal force, and increase % fruit harvested. Tree trunks are often damaged by sha上位在线观看 equipment, if done incorrectly; trees in rapid growth are more prone to cambial injury. Sweet 16may20_xxxxxl56endian for fresh consumption are harvested by hand, usually leaving the pedicels intact. They are harvested at firm-mature stage to reduce bruising.

Handling and Pac上位在线观看:
Both sweet and sour 16may20_xxxxxl56endian have extremely short shelf lives, and must be handled gently to reduce bruising and oxidation. Sour 16may20_xxxxxl56endian for processing are dumped into cold water immediately following harvest. They are then transported to processing plants, where they are washed, de-stemmed, pitted, and packed for freezing, all within hours from harvest. Sweet 16may20_xxxxxl56endian are hydrocooled or dumped into cold water by pickers, and packed in shallow flats after being sorted based on color and size, usually the largest being 15/16 inch or higher.

Storage:
Sweet 16may20_xxxxxl56endian are usually shipped immediately, since shelf life is <2 weeks. They are subject to the same post-harvest diseases (brown rot, grey mold, blue mold, Rhizopus, alternaria, etc..) as other stone fruits.
