Research on Production Measures for Improving the Quality of"Guichang"Kiwifruit in Xiuwen County
This study used'Guichang'kiwifruit as the experimental material to investigate the effects of main measures at different stages of kiwifruit cultivation,such as site selection slope,fertilization a-mount,picking period,and storage methods,on kiwifruit quality.Production technology measures to improve kiwifruit quality were proposed.The results showed that the optimal planting slope for ki-wifruit was 0°,preferably not exceeding 20°,as the slope would reduce soil fertility,reduce the accu-mulation of nutrients in the plant,thereby reducing the single fruit weight and intrinsic quality of ki-wifruit.Middle fertilizer(1kg per plant)increased soil fertility and nutrients in the plant,thereby im-proving the single fruit weight and intrinsic quality of kiwifruit.High fertilizer had no significant effect on improving quality,but instead increases costs.The optimal harvesting period for'Guichang'kiwifruit in Xiuwen County was 150 d after flowering.Early or late harvesting will reduce its quality,and it is not durable for storage.Modified atmosphere storage is the optimal storage method,but it has a higher cost and is suitable for conventional refrigeration in the short term(30 days),while it is more suitable for longterm use.
