Abstract

Pummelo fruit has a large size, a lot of assimilate will be required for fruit growth and development. The problem of pummelo cultivation is not only assimilate requirement for fruit growth but also the fruit quality, i.e. external and internal quality. The aims of this research were to evaluate the effect of leaf-to-fruit ratio, fruit bagging and their relationship on fruit development and quality. This research has been conducted at University Farm of Bogor Agricultural University from November 2013 until September 2014. The experiment was arranged in completely randomized factorial design with two factors. The first factor was leaf-to-fruit ratio with three levels (50:1, 75:1 and 100:1). The second factor was fruit bagging with four plastic colors (transparent, blue, red and yellow) and control (without bagging). The result showed that fruit of the control treatment dropped because of pest attack. Leaf-to-fruit ratio and fruit bagging affected fruit growth and quality. The highest leaf-to-fruit ratio (100:1) significantly increased fruit weight as compared with lower leaf-to-fruit ratio (75:1 and 50:1), i.e: 746.3, 641.4 and 603.3 g, respectively. There was no significant effect of leaf-to-fruit ratio on edible portion, juice content and vitamin C in all treatments, whereas bagging bag color has significantly affected on fruit quality. Red plastic resulted the largest fruit but poorest quality in total soluble solids and maturity index. Transparent and yellow plastic could be recommended for pummelo bagging, which showed better taste indicated by high total soluble solids, maturity index and vitamin C.

柚(Citrus maxima (Burm.))品质改良稳定)。采用叶果比排列和果实套袋
柚子果实体积大,果实生长发育需要大量的同化物。柚子栽培的问题不仅是果实生长的同化要求,而且是果实品质的问题,即外在品质和内在品质。本研究旨在探讨叶果比、果实套袋对果实发育和品质的影响及其相互关系。这项研究于2013年11月至2014年9月在茂物农业大学的大学农场进行。试验采用两因素全随机因子设计。第一个因子是叶果比,分50:1、75:1和100:1三个层次。第二个因素是用四种塑料颜色(透明、蓝色、红色和黄色)和对照(不装袋)的水果袋装。结果表明,对照处理的果实因虫害而下降。叶果比和果实套袋影响果实生长和品质。最高叶果比(100:1)较低叶果比(75:1和50:1)显著提高了果实质量,分别为746.3、641.4和603.3 g。叶果比对果实可食性、果汁含量和维生素C均无显著影响,而套袋颜色对果实品质有显著影响。红胶果实最大,但可溶性固形物总量和成熟度指数最差。透明塑料和黄色塑料可用于柚子袋装,其总可溶性固形物、成熟度指数和维生素C较高,口感较好。
