Assessment and reduction of bitter pit risk in apple fruit.

Prediction of the risk of bitter pit development and reduction of the potential of fruits for developing the disorder are currently major research topics in New Zealand. Current research is reviewed on the assessment of bitter pit risk from mineral analysis, identification of orchard factors which influence bitter pit incidence both through an effect on mineral nutrition and independently and ways in which such factors can be used to both assess disorder risk and reduce its incidence. Data are tabulated for mineral concentrations and bitter pit incidence in Cox's Orange Pippin apples and for Ca concentrations in Granny Smith, Braeburn and Royal Gala apples. Relationships between bitter pit and other fruit characteristics are graphically presented for Cox's Orange Pippin fruits.
