What is Post Harvest, Maturity, Indices and Standard..

     GoodDay to EveryOne, today I'll be sharing the idea or facts that I have learnt from my Program that I am attending.. It's all about maturity indices. First of all, it is under the field of post harvest.What is "Post Harvest"? and What is "Maturity Indices".

     Post Harvest means after harvesting.. Its the Management or the handling practices after you or we harvest. In the Field of Post Harvest we need to be able to know some or the ideas/facts about "Proper handling. How would you guys handle your commodity for marketing. We all know that if a commodity is damaged no consumer would like or attempt to  buy those commodity. We know that consumers would buy only if commodity are in good shape. Would you buy "wounded" commodity? Off course, Not.

     The aim of this field is to minimize or lessen the damage of commodity from being stress from harvesting until the commodity reached the consumers..

     Now that if have summarizes to you what is "Post Harvest" in the simplest way that I can explain to you., let's talk about what is "Maturity".. When it comes to maturity what comes to your mind? Yes, not immature.. Or we can say maturity refers to the state of or period of being mature..

     Now let's talk about "indices", what do you think what indices means?? You may check your dictionaries if you fins this word too deep for you.. At first I find this word hard for myself. It's funny since it's on my field still not aware the meaning of it. But after my instructor gave me/us some ideas.. We finally know the meaning of indices.. ShareZone.. :}

     Let's go back to the main topic. Indices refers to the sign or indication that we can see by using our sense of sight and sometime with the help of sense of judgment.. Sometimes its good for you but most of time its not good for them.. :}} It's reality.. :P

    That's why we have "standard". In the field we use standard to maintain or in order to follow what consumers wanted to buy.. 

Here.. Let me give you an example.. 

     This is a Dragon fruit.. Hylocereus undatus. This fruit is immature at green color but you can see its red base on my sense of sight and its matured.. I don't know what color was that on your sense of sight. :P
