Mangoes
Non-invasive fruit ripeness measurement
Queensland researchers have developed a new tool to assess the ripeness of mango crops prior to harvest, potentially boosting harvest timing and fruit quality. The non-invasive sensor team from CQUniversity this week revealed it had created new sensor system technology using near-infared spectroscopy to assess produce in the orchard, without damaging the product.
The technology allows farmers to better plan their harvest, by employing the right number of pickers at the right time.
