Title: Response of Fruit Development Period to Temperature During Specific Periods After Full Bloom in Peach
Authors: U. Boonprakob, D.H. Byrne and R.E. Rouse
Abstract:
Much research has been conducted to evaluate the relationship of temperature on growth and development.
Models for predicting harvest time are generally based on temperature data for the entire period of growth and development.
In peaches, fruit development period (FDP) is not associated well with temperature
data for the entire period.
Temperature of 30 to 45 days after full bloom serves as the best predictor for FDP in early ripening peaches under Texas conditions.
The FDP of these peach cultivars is influenced by temperature
differently.
The reduction of FDP varies from about 2 to 6 days with one degree increase in temperature.
