Excerpt from Degreening Response of Color-Sorted Florida Oranges: A Preliminary Report
Two tests were conducted during November 1964 using Hamlin oranges grown on rough lemon rootstock. Because of the advanced fruit color, it was necessary to selectively harvest fruit in order to have an adequate color range of regular-bloom fruit for the tests. The fruit was washed and sized into three groups large, medium, and small, which corresponded to commercial sizes of 163, 200 and 252. Each size group was visually sorted into three color categories: dark, medium, and light. Each color-size lot consisted of 10 fruits, and five replications were included.
