Download or read book Harvesting Blueberries written by Lisa Wasko DeVetter and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 11 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Blueberries sold on the fresh market can be a high-value commodity. Unfortunately, harvesting high-quality fruits has become challenging due to constraints associated with high costs and decreasing availability of hand harvest crews. Many growers have turned to machine harvesters to pick blueberries for fresh markets as they reduce both harvesting and labor costs, but quality can be compromised due to mechanical impacts that result in fruit bruising, softness, and losses in fruit quality. New modified machine harvesters can improve fruit quality but must be implemented correctly. Regardless of whether a grower is machine or hand harvesting their blueberries, various pre- and postharvest factors are also critical to consider to maximize quality and food safety. This publication provides information on various practices that can improve harvest efficiency and fruit quality when machine harvesting blueberry for fresh market.
