Full TextAbstract
The colouration of fruits is an important quality requirement for the market. The degree of colour coverage has an influence on the saleability particularly in the red coloured cultivars. This study aims to reveal the influence of temperature on the degree of cover colour of apple. We have determined the time change of colouring and estimated it by means of environment variables. The results show significant relationships between the main meteorological variables, such as day and night temperature and the difference between day and night temperature, and the rate of colour cover. The genetic backgrounds of apple varieties ripening in winter have a greater effect on the development of cover colour while the years play larger role on it in the case of apples ripening in summer or autumn. A difference between day and night temperatures resulted in about 79% of cover colour on the fruits, but for differences over 6.2 °C, the extent of cover colour decreased in apples ripening in summer.
