Development of technical services and technical supports in the postharvest fruit sector
The proposed research project is to create an extension service to support the storage center operating in the region, providing information on the most important innovations in the quality and postharvest fruit sector. It also intends to address some priority issues, such as improving the sensorial quality of some fruit, developing new postharvest protection strategies against some serious diseases (e.g. botrytis and scald).
- Creation of a dedicated website - "online help" service.
- To extend the investigations on the environmental, agronomic and orchard management factors, to implement non-linear analysis models, to highlight which of the factors considered more related to the scald pears.
- To improve the quality of the Hayward kiwifruit batch after storage through an improvement in the calcium profile of the fruit.
- To define the optimal conditions to perform thermotherapy and treatments based on antagonist microorganisms on apple rot and to verify the possibility of applying the DA-meter as a tool todifferentiate the different batches of fruit and decide the target markets.
Thanks to the implementation of the dedicated website, with functions of "online help", technicians and operators of storage will be able to receive information regarding advanced solutions concerning harvest, postharvest disease, storage technology, the quality and distribution of fresh fruit and vegetables, and to address some particularly serious and urgent problems.
Investigations on the environmental, agronomic and orchard management factors during the growing season up to the harvest, to highlight which of the factors considered to be most closely related to the onset of the surface heating of the Abate Fetel pears will allow to start the search for molecular markers capable of predicting the onset of physiopathy during storage, so as to support those in charge
of storage and sale.
The optimal conditions for thermotherapy and treatments based on antagonist microorganisms on apple batches will be developed to counteract product losses in the postharvest phase, and the possibility of applying the DA-meter as an instrument will be verified to differentiate the different fruit batches and decide the target markets.
