Influence of Mechanical String Thinning Treatments on Vegetative and Reproductive Tissues, Fruit Set, Yield, and Fruit Quality of ‘Gala’ Apple
TL;DR: Mechanical string thinning may be a viable treatment in organic apple production, where use of chemical thinners is limited, but cropload reduction was insufficient in years of heavy fruit set.

Location, year, and tree age impact NIR-based postharvest prediction of dry matter concentration for 58 apple accessions
TL;DR: In this paper, the impact of location, year and tree age on NIR prediction accuracy of dry matter concentration (DMC) in diverse apple breeding accessions was analyzed. And the importance of assessing predictive performance using multiple statistical metrics was demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of Preharvest Precipitation, Air Temperature, and Humidity on the Occurrence of Soft Scald in ‘Honeycrisp’ Apples
TL;DR: The relationship of soft scald incidence with precipitation, temperature, and fruit maturity indicators in 'Honeycrisp' apples was examined using 7 years of data in Maine and 6 years in Ontario, Canada as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
An economic analysis of harvest timing to manage the physiological storage disorder firm flesh browning in ‘Empire’ apples
TL;DR: There is an economic tradeoff between harvest date, occurrence of flesh browning, and likely net profits to producers of ‘Empire’ apples.

The Use of Reflective Film and Ethephon to Improve Red Skin Color of Apples in the Mid-Atlantic Region of the United States
TL;DR: A high-density RF may be a cost effective method to enhance red color on selected apple cultivars in the midAtlantic region and appear to have more effect on color in ‘Empire’ than the RF, but less effect than theRF on ‘Hardibrite Delicious’.
