The Use of Individual Fruit (Intraplot) Variance as a Technique to Evaluate Peach Fruit Uniformity
1
Abstract
Peach samples were taken by removing all fruit from preselected limbs at 1 date for each treatment just prior to the 1st commercial harvest, Maturity was evaluated by the indices of firmness, size, undercolor, and overcolor. The estimates of variance among fruit for the maturity attributes were used to objectively measure fruit uniformity. These estimates of variance were then subjected to the analysis of variance to test for differences of fruit uniformity among growth regulator treatments.
