Although harvest is one of the most frantic times of the season, peak harvest time needs to be balanced with preventative practices to help ensure that the crop has optimal quality for satisfying consumer demands, and to ensure profitability of the operation. The degree of fruit quality can be highly determined by the preharvest, at harvest and postharvest practices in an orchard. Profits can be maximized by producing appealing fruit, by minimizing fruit damage and loss.
