Fruit quality parameters of apple cv. Jonagold were determined in 1992 and 1993 in order to predict optimum harvest date (OHD). Apples were harvested 4 times at weekly intervals in 3 orchards and were stored at 3 deg C under normal atmosphere conditions for 5 months. The Streif index, F/RS (firmness/(soluble solids x starch conversion stage)), was determined to establish OHD. Induced ethylene concentration (IEC) was also determined. Results obtained did not allow precise establishment of OHD in Jonagold. However, comparison of F/RS and IEC allowed prediction of the latest acceptable harvest date for storage.
