SharePreharvest factors that predispose apples to superficial scald.

Type of article: Article
Summary
The development and severity of superficial scald in apple fruit is proportional to the amount of anti-oxidants in the peel and the extent of alpha-farnese oxidation. The extent of metabolism of these compounds is also influenced by weather, orchard management, and tree characteristics and nutrition before harvest. Understanding the influence of preharvest factors on alpha-farnesene metabolism will help in the development of a reliable predictive method for scald susceptibility at harvest prior to long-term storage.
