1. Apple Weight Prediction Based on Lifecycle Growth Information

It is essential for determining optimal harvest timing, the grade of quality, and fresh maintenance, all of which directly impact growers’ economic returns, to accurately predict individual apple fruit weight. This study aims to predict the fruit weight of Fuji apples at the main branch level (n = 126) using growth data collected throughout the growing season. Fuji apples were monitored at 23 orchards in 2022 and 2023, and at 24 orchards in 2024. Growth data were collected... C. Ryu
