Why it matters
Colour drives grade, shelf appeal, and price; it forms during ripening and depends on leaf health, light, and potassium, so a finishing program lifts it.
When it appears
During fruit ripening — the finishing window.
How to identify it
- Pale, dull, or uneven colour at maturity
- Fruit not reaching the variety's colour potential
- Delayed or patchy ripening
How to manage it
- Protect leaf health and light exposure; avoid late nitrogen.
- Apply Color Boost through ripening.
