Abstract
- The article focuses on the evaluation of peach harvest maturity to ensure the quality of fruits. It is noted that a decline in the national trend for per capita peach consumption means consumers are not satisfied with fruit quality. A penetrometer is used in measuring the puncture pressure to determine flesh firmness. Growers are advised to enhance the maturity parameters they use in growing new solid-red cultivars and sub-acid types.
