Thesis (MScAgric)--Stellenbosch University, 2013.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Fruit size and the integrity of the rind are key components that determine the value of a citrus fruit. The application of 2,4-dichlorophenoxy acetic acid (2,4-D) to reduce splitting, a physiological disorder which entails cracking of the rind as well as to increase fruit size was conducted on three different split-susceptible mandarin and two split-susceptible orange cultivars. Treatments were applied directly after the physiological fruit drop period, as well as in January and February at 10 mg·L-1, alone or in combi

Abstract:

Quality and traceability are the winning combination for the development of a modern agriculture, where other functions, related to territorial, environmental and social skills, are gradually taking place aside from the traditional economic task. In the last decade quality has become an essential feature to ensure the access into the market and an effective competition to many ever-growing exporting countries. Quality is defined as the set of features of a food that leads to consumer satisfaction and includes sensory properties, shelf-life, product safety and functional properties. The system

Abstract:

Plants synthesize a diverse array of phytochemicals in response to interactions with herbivores, pathogens, and commensal microbes. These phytochemicals may simultaneously enhance crop defense and quality, representing a potential pest management strategy. However, plant chemical responses to different types and levels of biotic interactions remain unclear, particularly in fruit tissues, and the feasibility of inducing these defenses through elicitor application in field environments also requires further examination. Thus, apples were used to 1) examine the impact of distinct communities of b

Small fruit is not only unacceptable to the consumer but is also more difficult and expensive to harvest. Means of alleviating this problem is to manage the crop load. Hand thinning trials were conducted to evaluate the effect of timing and severity thereof in enhancing fruit size. The benefits of enhancing large fruit size was obtained by a heavy-thinning (60% fruitlet removed) treatment, but the actu

Ethylene antagonists offer an effective way to prevent the deleterious effects of ethylene in climacteric fruits. 1-Methylcyclopropene, 1-hexylcyclopropene, (S)-(-)- limonene and trans-cinnamaldehyde were evaluated as ethylene antagonist to extend the storage life of apple and pear fruits. 1-Methylcyclopropene was most efficient followed by 1-HCP, (S)-(-)-limonene and trans-cinnamaldehyde in suppressing and delaying climacteric ethylene production, extending cold and controlled atmosphere storage life and maintaining fruit quality depending upon cultivar and storage period.

Quality is increasingly important for retailers, who tend to look for more definitive assessment criteria. Taste has become a major issue over past years for consumers, who are seeking higher quality produce. For banana fruit, at least one major retailer is asking TSS measurement in addition to the usual assessment based on skin colour. At the same time organic produce sales are increasingly important for ripeners and retailers to consumers. This study investigated variability in banana pulp with regard to sampling position from proximal, middle and distal portions. Also two different devices,

Fumigation and spray solutions containing ethanol prevented the deleterious effects of ethylene and maintained postharvest fruit quality of stone fruits. The development of spray solutions will allow these compounds to be used in future open-field applications.

Poor colour of orange fruit causes serious economic losses to growers. Spray application of abscisic acid, prohexadione-Ca, paclobutrazol or methyl jasmonate at 6 or 3 weeks before harvest promoted fruit colour in M7 Navel. Hot water (50 °C) 5 min dip alone or combined with thiabendazol, methyl jasmonate 1 min dip (0.1 - 0.50 mM) or nitric oxide (5 - 20 µL L-1) fumigation reduced chilling injury in Midknight Valencia and Lane Late oranges.

Abstract:

Growth, productivity and fruit quality of grapevines are closely linked to soil water availability. Withholding of water for any length of time results in slowed growth. If drought continues yield may be lost. Vines can be manipulated to stimulate early defence mechanisms by decreasing soil water availability. By using an irrigation technique, which allows for separate zones with different soil moisture status, it is possible to stimulate response mechanisms of the root system which are normally related to water stress. The difficulty of separating 'wet' and 'dry' zones was initially overcome

Abstract:

Aquest treball va estudiar la irradiació ultraviolada-visible (UV-Vis) com una alternativa per a la pasteurització de sucs. Els resultats van mostrar que la irradiació ultraviolada no produeix hidroximetilfurfural i es capaç de degradar-lo. Es va proposar un mecanisme de foto-degradació i es van usar diferents models cinètics per descriure la reacció. La foto-degradació de la vitamina C va ser insignificant usant una làmpada d’emissió múltiple. A més, el processament d’UV-Vis va ser efectiu inactivant els enzims polifenoloxidasa i peroxidasa; a major temperatura major inactivació. Mentrestant,
