Chileans find better way to predict bitter pit.

Three different methods of predicting bitter pit in apples are identified and compared. Based on the physiology of bitter pit incidence, the methods described are: (i) those linked to the nutritional status of the fruit; (ii) prediction related to accelerating fruit maturity; and (iii) those based on the relationship between bitter pit and vegetative growth. The requirements of an efficient predictive method are mentioned. Work conducted in Chile since 1991 on the prediction of bitter pit through fruit infiltration with magnesium is described.
