Abstract

This study was developed with the objective of evaluating fruit development in the various growth phases and the influence of some variables on Fuji apple fruits. It was concluded that, through the fruit growth curve, the diameters of the fruits in the various development phases can be estimated from 45 DAPF (days after fruit formation).
