Using NIR technology, the Mango Quality Meter precisely and non-destructively measures dry matter and Brix, the mango’s key quality and ripeness indicators. This enables growers to accurately predict crop harvest dates, reduce guesswork and minimize spoilage, while increasing harvest predictability.
Model built with Tommy K, Ataulfo (also known as Champagne, Honey or Adolfo), Kent, Calypso, Keitt, and Honey Gold varieties.
