Abstract

[PERFORMANCE OF SCAB DISEASES ATTACKS IN ORANGE KALAMANSI AND ITS EFFECT ON THE QUALITY OF FRUIT] The need for fresh orange kalamansi raw materials is increasing along with the market demand for syrup. Pests and diseases are one of the obstacles in fulfilling this, namely the attack of citrus scabies. This study was to study the development of scurvy attacks and their effects on the quality of Kalamansi citrus fruits. The research was carried out by observation method in the Kalamansi orange orchard and in the postharvest laboratory. Data from observations and measurements were analyzed by descriptive statistics and analysis of variants (ANOVA) to see the effect of scurvy attacks on the physical and chemical quality of Kalamansi oranges. The results showed that scurvy began to attack the fruitset phase. The intensity of the disease attack at the beginning of the observation reached 11.06% and increased to 58.18% with an average rate of attack intensity of 14.54%. The attack of scurvy has a significant effect on the physical and chemical quality of the fruit, namely fruit weight, fruit diameter, juice volume and dissolved solids levels.
