Fruit Development, Ripening & HarvestWhen is stripping an entire mango block a risky harvest strategy?
Strip harvesting is risky when maturity varies enough that substantial immature fruit will enter the lot. Check the distribution of maturity across trees and flowering groups before making the labor decision. A satisfactory average can hide a poorly developed portion of the crop. Compare the savings from fewer picking passes with the likely loss of acceptable ripening fruit and marketable packout.
