Evaluation of granulation and quality parameters of Monte Parnaso late navel orange from South Brazil

This work aimed to evaluate granulation incidence and severity quality parameters of ‘Monte Parnaso’ navel orange in different harvest collection dates. The 2018 2019 harvests were evaluated, the dates 0, 15, 30, 45 days after commercial collection. evaluated severity, fruit weight, longitudinal transversal diameters, peel thickness, juice content, soluble solids titratable acidity, SS/TA ratio, ascorbic acid content. results underwent chi-squared analysis variance for parameters; occurring statistical difference, means compared by Tukey’s multiple range test at 5 % probability. Granulation not related time. Only was harvest. influenced significantly only factor, with exception factor date, which presented interaction between factors. higher larger heavier fruits. frequency fruits categories (> 50 %) than one 2019.
