Good field NIR data collection starts long before the first scan. In orchards, vineyards, and packing operations, the difference between useful data and noisy data usually comes down to sampling discipline, repeatable technique, and the right instrument setup. That is why field teams using handheld NIR tools need a process that matches the chemistry of… Continue reading…
Myth: Ripening Control Is Just About Ethylene
Ripening control is often reduced to a single variable: ethylene. In reality, effective ripening control depends on a coordinated understanding of ethylene, oxygen, carbon dioxide, temperature, and commodity-specific physiology. Focusing on only one gas oversimplifies postharvest management and leaves room for quality loss, uneven ripening, and reduced shelf life. For growers, packers, storage operators, and… Continue reading…
