On the occasion of Blueberries Consulting Seminar at Monticello, Carolina Uquillas developed a very complete presentation of the new varieties of Fall creek for the blueberry market, which were very well received by the attendees, especially the varieties suitable for mechanical harvesting.
Carolina Uquillas, commercial manager for Chile of Fall creek for Chile stated that these are indeed tests of the Collection platform, which they have been doing at the Oregon experiment station for six years. The first tests were carried out imitating the impact that the fruit received when being mechanically harvested and later a harvesting machine was used, with the aim of comparing the postharvest quality during different refrigerated storage times, in relation to that obtained with fruit harvested in a manual.
