Orchard & Commercial GrowingWhy can a mango NIR model validated on mature-green fruit become less reliable during ripening?
Ripening changes the fruit's optical and chemical characteristics. Mango model research finds physiological stage important to prediction robustness. A harvest-oriented calibration should therefore be checked before it is used on fruit at another stage. Preserve the model's intended scope and assess suitable reference samples rather than assuming that nondestructive measurement means one model suits the whole supply chain.
