Abstract :

Kiwifruit cv. Hayward has a high nutritional value due to its high content of vitamin C, phenolic compounds, minerals and organic acids. This has caused a significant increase in its production and consumption both in our country and in the world in recent years. Fruit quality both at the harvest time and during kiwifruit storage depends on a set of factors related to planting, and harvesting, as well as postharvest factors. Among the most important factors that affect the quality and storage of kiwifruit during the growing season, we can mention the cultivar, tree nutrition, pollination, tree crown management, summer pruning, degree of maturity and ripening, and the amount of fruit dry matter. Controlling each of these factors by considering their interaction effects can not only affect the quality of the fruit effectively and usefully but also increase the storability of kiwifruit.but also increase the storability of kiwifruit.but also increase the storability of kiwifruit.
