“…The DA-Head (Figure 1B) is a stationary device that measures the ripening stage as I AD in a similar way to the DA-Meter. This device has been tested on several fruit species (kiwifruit, apricot (Prunus armeniaca), pear (Pyrus communis), apple (Malus × domestica), and peach (Prunus persica) [5,10,11], although the first and more complete trials have been carried out with the apricot cultivar "La vallée", with the collaboration of the Office Cantonal de Arboriculture of Sion, Switzerland. The device can be considered a pre-commercial prototype [12].…”

“…In a consumer test trial, the most desirable "Stark Red Gold" nectarine fruit were those that reached an I AD value of 0.4-0.5 [18], while "Plus Plus" peach fruit had to reach an I AD value <0.7 to be as desirable (Table 1). For pome fruit, the I AD was also used to define the proper harvest time of several apple varieties, including "Gala", "Golden Delicious", "Red Delicious", "Fuji", "Granny Smith", and "Pink Lady" [18][19][20] and of "Abbé Fétel"pear [5]. A consumer test trial performed with "Gala" apples indicated that the most desirable fruit were harvested at an I AD value of 0.6-0.9 [19].…”

Fruit quality is greatly affected by the ripening stage at harvest. In order to preserve quality traits, increase product marketability, and extend both the storage time and the shelf life, it is crucial to tailor postharvest strategies to ripening and physiological stages, and these need to be determined precisely. Surveying instruments working with modern technologies such as visible spectrometry can be precise and effective in assessing ripening stage and in grouping fruit in homogeneous classes. This paper reviews results using original nondestructive devices developed at the University of Bologna to define the fruit ripening of several fruit species through a new index (Index of Absorbance Difference (I AD )) to compare relationships among fruit ripening stage, fruit quality, and postharvest life. The devices defining the I AD can be used in the field (by the Difference Absorbance (DA)-Meter), at the packinghouse (with the DA-head, a stationary device), and at the cold storage level (with the DA Fruit Logger (DAFL)).

“…"Plus Plus" peach fruit segregated with the DA-stationary machine into 4 ripening classes, the % of the fruit in each class, and consumer likelihood of purchasing each class.

“…), and thus they are not applicable to the entire harvest, but only to a small subset of fruits used as a statistical sample. Because the ripening dynamics on-tree can significantly diverge based on the fruit position within the canopy or on the position of the tree in the orchard, even in case of multiple harvest dates performed over a wide harvest window, the fruit batch should be considered heterogeneous [1][2][3][4][5]. A deeper and more precise knowledge of the ripening degree, obtained using a strict protocol and proper devices, could help by segregating the fruit into more uniform groups that each could then be managed with the best storage and marketing strategies.…”

‘FalstaffPBR’ is a pear variety released by CREA and New Plant in 2012. This study focused on the effects of various clonal rootstocks on the main productive and qualitative traits of ‘FalstaffPBR’ scion. The rootstocks used were ‘EMC’, ‘EMH’, and ‘BA29’ for quince (Cydonia oblonga) and pear ‘Farold 40’ (Pyrus communis). Plants were planted in 2009 with a layout that, depending on the used rootstock, varied between 60 and 120 cm on the row, according to the rootstock standard planting system, and 350 cm between rows. The average yield calculated in the trail field in the 4 years of production (2014–2017) was over 22.7 tons ha−1 on ‘BA29’, 22.8 tons ha−1 on ‘EMH’, 16.3 tons ha−1 on ‘Farold 40’, and 18.4 on ‘EMC’. Fruits of the plants grafted on ‘Farold 40’ always had a medium-to-high size, while fruits produced by the plants grafted onto ‘BA29’ have been larger in size since the first years of production. The plants grafted onto ‘EMH’ produced fruits with the highest percentage of red overcolor. The ‘EMH’ rootstock is optimal for ‘FalstaffPBR’ as it gives the plant an intermediate vigor between ‘BA29’ and ‘EMC’, and a good yield per hectare from the first planting years; the average fruit size is excellent.
