The effect of different sources of preharvest calcium applications in relation to postharvest life on red raspberry fruit cv. Autumn Bliss were studied using 2 calcium based products (AminoQuelant-Ca and Stopit) at 2 application rates applied once or twice. The trial was carried out in an orchard in Lampa (Region Metropolitana, Chile) during the 1995/96 season. On previously marked fruits, weight loss, rot, physical damage, colour, firmness, and total soluble solids was evaluated at harvest, after a 7 day storage period at 0 deg C, and after a further 2 days at 20 deg C (maturation period). The product used was the main factor influencing postharvest life, fruit treated with AminoQuelant-Ca at high concentration being the ones showing the greatest firmness and the lowest fruit rot and weight loss at the various evaluation periods.
