Abstract:

From 2018 to 2021,carry out on-tree storage on Orah mandarin for four consecutive years. Fruit quality was collected and analyzed monthly from January to June,and temperature,rainfall,fruit dropping,fruit puffiness and sac granulation were investigated. The results showed that the rising temperatures in the spring caused the peel color to change from red to yellow and that the fruit continued to grow during the on-tree storage period. In mid-June,the single fruit weight,transverse diameter and longitudinal diameter increased by 29.2%-40.4%,7.6%-9.8% and 7.5%-11.5%,respectively,compared with the fruit in January. The content of total soluble solids were the higher in February-March(13.03%-15.97%)but decreased in April when the new shoots grew and flowered. This value then increased from May and by mid-June,it had exceeded the levels previously measured in February-March. The hundred-point test system of pulp crisp property was above 80,and the highest score was in March. The rate of fruit that was edible and suitable to be used as juice did not change significantly. However,the hardness of both the peel and pulp and the contents of titratable acidity and vitamin C decreased by 21.3%-23.9%,15.8%-45.1%,28.4%-53.2% and 27.2%-45.4%,respectively,during the on-tree storage period in mid-June compared with those in January. Spraying fungicide can effectively control the fruit drop caused by fungal infections,and storing approximately half of the fruit on the trees had no significant effect on the yield of following year. Orah mandarin stored on-tree to mid-June was of high quality,which renders them suitable to fill the void of high-quality citrus fruit for sale in summer.
