Almond Ripening Period

Prunus dulcis (Mill.) D. A. Webb

A phenological trait determined by the drying and splitting of the pericarp. Varieties are classified into relative categories from early to late based on calendar dates or the number of days from flowering.

In the reference 69 varieties crop Almond, where this is mentioned in the description.

Almond fruit maturity is diagnosed visually by the condition of the fleshy hull, which dries and splits upon reaching physiological maturity, exposing the shell. In agronomic practice, varieties are categorized as early, early-mid, mid, mid-late, and late, using the BBCH scale to assess development phases.

For precise monitoring of ripening periods, calendar data or the count of days elapsed since flowering are used. Knowledge of this trait is essential for planning harvest campaigns, reducing the risk of fungal disease infection due to autumn rainfall, and minimizing aflatoxin accumulation.
