Summary

The development of high quality fruit is influenced by such cultural practices as mineral nutrition, irrigation, tree training, pruning and fruit thinning. Harvest maturity is of special importance. Fruit deterioration, from such factors as fruit rotting organisms, water loss, mechanical bruising and physiological disorders, will adversely impact quality in the market. Of special concern is the need to rapidly cool stone fruits and maintain them near 0 deg C.
