Summary: Different management strategies can be used in pineapple to optimize production and
improve fruit quality, meeting the demands of the production chain. The quality of
pineapple fruits is influenced by several factors, such as crop management, harvest
conditions and post harvest technologies. Strategies for the scaling of production with
quality fruits are essential when conducting the crop. The ripening stage in which the
pineapple fruit is harvested influences the quality and storage time. Thus, two works
were developed. The first entitled Effect of agronomic management on
physicochemical quality of pineapple fruits based on redundancy analysis, and the
second Definition of harvest point as a function of storage time of fruit storage
pineapple cultivar. The experiment was conducted at the Experimental Farm of the
Capixaba Institute for Research, Technical Assistance and Rural Extension, in the
municipality of Sooretama-ES, WHERE it was evaluated several characteristics related
to vegetative development, phenology, physicochemical quality, storage and fruit
ripening. The main results obtained were low variability among most physicochemical
characteristics when correlated with plant characteristics. It was also concluded that
the storage time and the ripening stage affected the physicochemical properties of
Vitória pineapple fruits.
