Effect of Preharvest Sprays of 2, 4, 5-Trichlorophenoxypropionic Acid Upon the Maturation of Jonathan, Starking, and Golden Delicious Apples (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
A study of preharvest sprays and their effect on apple maturation, with practical insights for growers and researchers.
This preliminary investigation from the early 1950s looks at how preharvest sprays of a specific chemical influence the maturation of three major fall varieties—Jonathan, Starking, and Golden Delicious—in Illinois. It explains why the work was started and what kinds of outcomes researchers watched for, including effects on cracking, texture, aroma, acidity, and overall quality.
- Examines the effects of trichlorophenoxypropionic acid sprays on maturation and quality in the three fall-marming varieties.
- Notes observed tendencies in Golden Delicious, including cracking, softer texture, deficient aroma, lower acidity, and more post-harvest shriveling compared with untreated fruit.
- Describes the context of prior spray use and the motivation to determine detailed, economically relevant outcomes.
- Provides standard terminology and a maturation framework (M1–M4) to describe changes in fruit while still on the tree.
