Popis: Four peach cultivars (‘Loring’, ‘Cresthaven’, ‘Jefferson’, and ‘Elberta’) were dropped onto steel and onto a stationary peach of the same cultivar and similar maturity. The Instrumented Sphere (IS) was used with the fruit dropper at the same drop heights as the peach-to-steel test. Peach firmness was measured with an Effegi probe and ground color was measured with a color meter. Bruise size was measured 24 h after the peaches were dropped.
