Using state-of-the-art NIR (near infrared) technology, the Mango Quality Meter precisely and Non-Destructively measures dry matter and Brix, the mango’s key quality and ripeness indicators.
This enables growers to accurately predict crop harvest dates, reduce guesswork and minimize spoilage, while increasing harvest predictability. Trusted by thousands of universities, research institutes and commercial producers worldwide, Felix Instruments now brings the power and utility of NIR technology to the mango industry
Data collected with the F-751 Mango meter can be seamlessly transferred to a computer or uploaded to the Fruitmaps cloud using a Wi-Fi connection. Fruitmaps® is a revolutionary crop mapping software,that gives mango growers the power to forecast harvest timing more accurately than ever before and allows you to monitor your orchards in real time from anywhere in the world!
