Include diverse formulations of compounds, substances and micro-organisms that are applied to plants or soils to improve crop vigour, yields, quality and tolerance of stresses. The number of mature black seeds in a fruit. It is used as a measure of maturity. A pathogenic fungus that can attack many different types of plants. Controlled Atmosphere storage slows down the opening process and sends the fruit into hibernation meaning fruit can be kept for longer. Of or pertaining to copper, especially copper in its highest valence. Kiwifruit is dioecious, having separate male and female plants. Calculated as the ratio of dry to fresh weight. Using the following equation: Dry matter (DM) = Dry Weight ÷ Fresh Weight. Here fresh weight is the total fruit weight, including water and the dry weight contents that have been removed after the water has been removed. Free on board (FOB) is a trade term requiring the seller to deliver goods on board a vessel designated by the buyer. The seller fulfils its obligations to deliver when the goods have passed over the ship's rail. This cultivar was commercialised by Zespri in 2010 and is otherwise known as Zespri SunGold.

Chlorosis is a condition in which leaves produce insufficient chlorophyll. As chlorophyll is responsible for the green colour of leaves, chlorotic leaves are pale, yellow, or yellow-white. Minimum Taste Standard is a Zespri initiative used to optimise the taste standard of crops so all Zespri® Kiwifruit are recognised and valued by customers as being consistent in taste. Two types of shoots are produced. Terminating shoots are short, 3-6 leaved shoots, which frequently form flower buds the following year. Non-terminating shoots may grow 10-15 feet in a season, producing smaller leaves along long internodes, with the distal portion of the shoot often coiling on contact with other shoots or solid objects. Non-terminating shoots perform the function of tendrils, which are absent in kiwifruit. Phloem is one of the two types of transport tissue in vascular plants; Xylem being the other. Phloem is a transport tissue in vascular plants which conducts sugars and other metabolic products downwards from the leaves. Is a toxic effect by a compound on plant growth. Such damage may be caused by a wide variety of compounds, including trace metals, salinity, pesticides, phytotoxins or allelochemicals. Price Look Up numbers are identification numbers affixed to produce in grocery stores and supermarkets to make check-out and inventory control easier, faster, and more accurate. Single Point of Entry is the use of one exporter over multiple exporters for example Zespri holds the SPE for the NZ kiwifruit industry. Tray Equivalent. Taste Zespri Grade mechanism for calculating the quality of taste in Zespri Kiwifruit. Xylem is one of the two types of transport tissue in vascular plants; phloem being the other. The basic function of xylem is to transport water from roots to shoot and leaves, but it also transports some nutrients.
